CMake: Fix position independent code linker flags not being set

We set CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to ON and require CMake 3.16.
This sets CMP0083 to NEW and should pass -fPIE to linker calls as well.

However, the PIE-enabling flag is not passed to the linker unless we
call check_pie_supported(). This behavior is documented in CMake's
CMP0083 documentation page.

[ChangeLog][CMake] Qt tools are now built with position independent code
even with Unix toolchains where this is not the default, for example
clang.

Pick-to: 6.5 6.4 6.2
