There are inconsistencies in the default optimization flags added by
CMake across configurations like Release and RelWithDebInfo.
In particular Release uses -O3, whereas RelWithDebInfo uses -O2,
as well as usage of /INCREMENTAL in release configs with MSVC, etc.
To make sure that the Qt 6 binaries built with CMake are consistent
across configs, as well as consistent with the flags we used when
building Qt 5 with qmake, add a horrible search and replace mechanism
to replaces the CMake flags with what our mkspecs indicate to use.
Ideally this would be done by providing custom CMake toolchain files
for each platform we support, and we might revisit that later if the
need really arises.
To implement the replacing, we first need the flags that should be
added. Port the QMAKE_CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE variables to CMake, which is
done in QtCompilerOptimization.cmake.
Then a new function called
qt_internal_set_up_config_optimizations_like_in_qmake will look for
any kind of optimization flags set in the
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> style variables, remove them, and add
the appropriate flags that qmake mkspecs provide.
On some platforms (like Windows MSVC) the function also alters the
linker CMAKE_${TYPE}_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG> style variables.
The mechanism allows opting out of this replacing by
setting the QT_USE_DEFAULT_CMAKE_OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS value.
It also allows opting into removal of flags for custom configs by
providing QT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIMIZATION_FLAG_CONFIGS. It's only removal,
because we wouldn't know what kind of config it is, and thus what
flags to add.
The currently modified configs are: Release, RelWithDebInfo,
MinSizeRel, Debug aka the usual default CMake provided ones.
The mechanism is only applied to C-like languages.
ASM is not handled to be on the safe side due to not knowing what kind
of compiler flags the platform assembler might take.
It's also important to skip RC on MSVC platforms.

Fix the conditions in qt_add_simd_part for arch_haswell and the
avx512 profiles to mimic what simd.prf does.
Add missing SIMD flags in QtCompilerOptimization for arch_haswell.
Compute the compile flags for the avx512 profiles from the
profile dependencies.
Remove the special case in Gui that hardcoded the compilation of
qdrawhelper_avx2.cpp to be conditional on avx2 being enabled
instead of arch_haswell. The Gui project already has another
qt_add_simd_part that is enabled if arch_haswell is enabled, which
will now work correctly due to the fixes in qt_add_simd_part.

Tested locally with the following configurations:
- iOS device builds (arm64)
- iOS simulator builds (x86_64)
- iOS simulator_and_device builds (fat arm64 and x86_64 archives)
All iOS builds currently require a custom vcpkg fork which contains
fixes for building the required 3rd party libraries.
qtsvg, qtdeclarative, qtgraphicaleffects and qtquickcontrols2
have also been tested to build successfully.
simulator_and_device builds are also supported, but require an umerged
patch in upstream CMake as well as further patches to vcpkg.

This is only a half solution, because some of them need to be set
based on the detected MSVC version and Windows kit, similar to
how it's done by qmake.
