Add Opencc Support for Goldendict in Archlinux

Problem Link to heading

When you install goldendict using yay, you won't see the Chinese Conversion section in the transliteration option.

build(){

-   qmake-qt5 "CONFIG+=no_epwing_support" PREFIX="/usr"
+   qmake-qt5 "CONFIG+=no_epwing_support chinese_conversion_support" PREFIX="/usr"

    make
}
...

In the end, build and install goldendict: $ makepkg -si
