This change introduces new behavior to error out when configuring user
projects if the CMake version used is too old for Qt to work with.
The main motivator is the requirement of new CMake features to ensure
object libraries are placed in the proper place on the link line in
static builds.
The minimum CMake version is computed based on whether Qt was
configured as shared or static libraries.
At the moment the required versions for building and using Qt are the
same.
The minimum versions are defined in qtbase/.cmake.conf in the
following variables
QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_SHARED
QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT_STATIC
QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_SHARED
QT_SUPPORTED_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT_STATIC
Qt Packagers can disable the version check when configuring Qt
by setting
QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_BUILDING_QT and
QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT.
In this case it is the packagers responsibility to ensure such a Qt
works correctly with the specified CMake version.
User projects can also set QT_FORCE_MIN_CMAKE_VERSION_FOR_USING_QT
to disable the version check. Then it's the project's developer
responsibility to ensure such a Qt works correctly.
No official support is provided for these cases.
Implementation notes.
The versions required to build Qt are stored in
QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake
whereas the versions required to use Qt are stored in a new
QtConfigExtras.cmake.
Also the policy range variables stored in
QtBuildInternalsExtra.cmake are now regular variables instead of cache
variables, to properly allow overrides per-repository.
Some renaming of functions and variables was done for a bit more
clarity and easier grep-ability.

On the CI system, we build qtbase with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set to a
path without a drive letter to support DESTDIR when installing.
Other Qt modules are built without CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set. The
Qt6BuildInternals package provides a default value.
Since commit e6527e2f73 this default
prefix is calculated from the current installation location. This
default prefix however has a drive letter, breaking DESTDIR support.
Broken DESTDIR support in this case means for Android that file(INSTALL)
can properly install but stripping will silently fail.
We now compare the "real path" of the original prefix from qtbase and
the calculated prefix. When they're equal, we use the original
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Aka handle CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in a more relocatable way.
The following story inspired this change.
If a user wants to build a Qt repo into a different install prefix
than the usual Qt one, this will fail configuration because we
look for various things like syncqt, qdoc, etc relative to
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, which will now point to a different location
where none of the above tools are located.
The intent for such a use case is to support building Qt packages with
Conan, which sets a random install prefix when configuring a repo.
The idea is to derive the qt prefix dynamically from the
QtBuildInternals package location. Essentially it's a reverse relative
path from the QtBuildInternalsConfig.cmake file to the install prefix
that was specified when initially configuring qtbase.
Once the dynamic prefix is computed (so we know where the possibly
relocated Qt is), we can find tools like syncqt and qdoc.
This is an initial attempt to support a use case like that.
More design work will probably needed in case if tools / libs need to
be found in a location different than the Qt install prefix (so
support for multiple install prefixes / search paths).
An example of such a case would be when building qtdeclarative and
qtquickcontrols2 as Conan packages in one go. Most likely the
qmltyperegistrar tool will be located in the random install prefix
set by Conan, so building qtquickcontrols2 might fail due to not
finding the tool in the original Qt install prefix.
As to the implementation details, the change does the following:
- Dynamically computes and sets the
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable when
find_package()'ing QtBuildInternals. It's an absolute path
pointing to where the relocated Qt is.
- When building qtbase this variable is not yet available (due
to QtBuildInternalsExtra not existing), in that case we set
the variable to the absolute path of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
(but only for the initial qtbase configuration).
- Remove QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_ORIGINAL_INSTALL_PREFIX which was used
for standalone tests purposes. It's not needed now that we compute
the location of the Qt prefix dynamically.
- The Unixy qt-cmake and qt-cmake-private shell scripts now
use a relative path to find the toolchain file we created.
- The toolchain file also dynamically computes the location of the Qt
packages, and adds them to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
- A lot of existing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX uses are replaced with
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This includes finding
tool locations, mkspecs dir, path environment setup for tools, etc.
- Some places still use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the following cases
- When determining paths while configuring qtbase (valid cases)
- When I wasn't sure what the behavior should be, so I left them
as-is (an example is documentation generation, do we want to
install it into the random Conan prefix, or into the main prefix?
Currently it installs in the random prefix).
Note that relocating a Qt installation does not work for non-prefix /
non-installed builds, due to hardcoded paths to include directories
and libraries in generated FooTargets.cmake files.

This allows doing debug_and_release builds with Ninja on all
platforms.
The "Ninja Multi-Config generator" is available starting with CMake
3.17.
Desired configurations can be set via CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES.
Possible values: "Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo, MinRelSize".
For example -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES="Release;Debug".
The first configuration is the 'default' configuration which is
built when calling ninja with no arguments.
To build all targets of a certain configuration use "ninja all:Release"
or "ninja all:Debug".
To build all targets in all configurations use "ninja all:all".
Note that the first configuration influences which configuration of
tools will be used when building the libraries for all configurations.
In simple terms, when configured with
-DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES="Release;Debug" the release version of moc
is used by AUTOMOC.
When configured with -DCMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES="Debug;Release"
the debug version of moc is used by AUTOMOC.
Framework builds and Ninja Multi-Config don't currently work together
due to multiple bugs in CMake, which ends up generating an invalid ninja
file with duplicate rules. There are also issues with placement of the
debug artifacts.
This will be handled in a follow up patch after CMake is fixed.

A developer can pass either -DQT_NO_MAKE_TESTS=ON or

With ninja, tests and examples can be built separately one by one,
by typing
$ ninja tst_foo
or
$ ninja example_bar
Same can be done with the Makefile generator.
$ make tst_foo
All tests / examples can be built in one go by typing
$ ninja tests/all
or
$ ninja examples/all
With the Makefile generator unfortunately it's not as nice and is most
likely an implementation detail, but it can still be done by running

QT_SOURCE_TREE is a variable that is set in qtbase/.qmake.conf.
In qtbase, it's used throughout various
projects to find cpp sources when building standalone tests (among
other things).
Everything works fine with qmake, because even if qmake is invoked
on the tests subfolder, qmake searches up the source directory tree
until it finds a .qmake.conf file, and uses that.
When building qttools with qmake, the qdoc project expects
to have a QT_SOURCE_TREE value, but it's not actually set in the
qttools/.qmake.conf file, so the generated include paths that use
that value are incorrect. Curiously the build still succeeds.
Now in CMake land we replaced QT_SOURCE_TREE with
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR, but that does not work properly when doing a
standalone tests build, because the project in that case is the
tests one, and not the qtbase one, so configuration fails in a
developer build when trying to configure some private tests.
So far I've found that only qtbase actively uses this value.
A temporary fix is to save the qtbase source directory into a
QT_SOURCE_TREE variable inside the generated
BuildInternalsExtra.cmake file.
The pro2cmake script is changed to handle presence of QT_SOURCE_TREE
in a qrc file path. This is handled by finding the location of a
.qmake.conf file starting from the project file absolute path.
This is needed to stop the script from crashing when handling
the mimedatabase test projects for example.
The change also regenerates the relevant failing test projects, and
thus standalone tests (when doing developer builds aka private_tests
enabled) now configure and build successfully.

Instead of recomputing the value of QT_WILL_INSTALL, compute it once

that will be built.
