ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL is an alias for ANDROID_PLATFORM and the
Android's CMake docs [1] uses directly ANDROID_PLATFORM so let's use
that as well. Also, NDK r23b seems to have removed the part of code from
android.toolchain.cmake that handles ANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL to set
the correct value to ANDROID_PLATFORM.
With this change, CMake will pass the value from the configure argument
-android-ndk-platform as -DANDROID_PLATFORM instead of
-DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL. Otherwise, if if -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL
is passed directly to CMake, it should work as before.

QT_NO_MAKE_TESTS -> QT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT
QT_NO_MAKE_TOOLS -> QT_BUILD_TOOLS_BY_DEFAULT
BUILD_EXAMPLES -> QT_BUILD_EXAMPLES

This should help to better convey the difference between "BUILD" and

The Android toolchain file is now autodetected from the location of the
NDK. The NDK location can be specified by setting the CMake variable
ANDROID_NDK_ROOT. Auto-detection of the Android toolchain file is the
only purpose of this variable.
In recent Android SDK installations the path to the NDK is well-known
and can be auto-detected too. If only ANDROID_SDK_ROOT is given, we try
to detect ANDROID_NDK_ROOT first and from that the Android toolchain
file.
Adjust the build instructions in cmake/README.md, and remove the part
where we suggest to set some environment variables that are only used to
create the cmake call.

CMake will now generate config and target files for each module that
provides tools. As a result, namespaced global targets such as
Qt5::moc or Qt5::rcc can be made available.
Third party projects that require just these tools, and not the Qt
modules themselves, should specify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH pointing to the
installed Qt location, and call find_package(Qt5CoreTools),
find_package(Qt5GuiTools), etc.
It is also possible to call
find_package(Qt5Tools REQUIRED Core Widgets) where the last option
is a list of modules whose tools should be imported.
Note that all the tools are in the Qt5::
namespace and not in the Qt5CoreTools:: or Qt5WidgetsTools::
namespace.
This commit also changes the behavior regarding when to build tools
while building Qt itself.
When cross compiling Qt (checked via CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING) or when
-DQT_FORCE_FIND_TOOLS=TRUE is passed, tools added by add_qt_tool will
always be searched for and not built.
In this case the user has to specify the CMake variable QT_HOST_PATH
pointing to an installed host Qt location.
When not cross compiling, tools added by add_qt_tool are built from
source.
When building leaf modules (like qtsvg) that require some tool that was
built in qtbase (like moc), the module project should contain a
find_package(Qt5ToolsCore) call and specify an appropriate
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH so that the tool package is found.
Note that because HOST_QT_TOOLS_DIRECTORY was replaced by QT_HOST_PATH,
the ensure syncqt code was changed to make it work properly with
both qtbase and qtsvg.
Here's a list of tools and their module associations:
qmake, moc, rcc, tracegen, qfloat16-tables, qlalr -> CoreTools
qvkgen -> GuiTools
uic -> WidgetTools
dbus related tools -> DBusTools
