Remove the qmake project files for most of Qt.
Leave the qmake project files for examples, because we still test those
in the CI to ensure qmake does not regress.
Also leave the qmake project files for utils and other minor parts that
lack CMake project files.

std::optional<int> is the wrong datatype to use for compare.
First and foremost, it can't be used in the idiomatic form of
auto r = a.compare(b);
if (r < 0) ~~~ // a is less than b
if (r > 0) ~~~ // a is greater than b
which we *already* feature in Qt (QString, QByteArray).
Also, std::optional<int> (explicitly) converts to bool, which is
a trap, because the result of the comparison can be accidentally
tested as a bool:
if (a.compare(b)) ~~~ // oops! does NOT mean a<b
Not to mention extending this to algorithms:
auto lessThan = [](QVariant a, QVariant b) { return a.compare(b); }; // oops!
std::ranges::sort(vectorOfVariants, lessThan);
which thankfully doesn't compile as is -- std::optional has
an *explicit* operator bool, and the Compare concept requires an
implicit conversion. However, the error the user is going to face
will be "cannot convert to bool because the operator is explicit",
which is deceiving because the fix is NOT supposed to be:
auto lessThan = [](QVariant a, QVariant b) { return (bool)a.compare(b); }; // big oops!
Instead: backport to Qt the required subset of C++20's <compare>
API, and use that. This commits just adds the necessary parts
for compare() (i.e. partial ordering), the rest of <compare>
(classes, functions, conversions) can be added to 6.1.
