in our tests.
They are not needed anymore since
d20f4ae706 got merged and the
QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR property is read at generation time
rather than configure time.
This means the
qt_internal_add_test ->
qt_internal_add_executable ->
_qt_internal_android_executable_finalizer ->
qt_android_generate_deployment_settings
calls take care of generation the right value for the property even
with CMake 3.16.
Remove the direct qt_android_generate_deployment_settings calls,
in preparation for their deprecation in public api.

The lock and unlock of the Android deadlock mutex is now part
of the internal implementation instead of limited to the enum
based permission API. It is unclear why 8bca441b6f added
the guard only to this API and not to the string based API
as well.
The check for isBackgroundLocationApi29 has been removed,
as the logic seemingly resulted in accepting every single
permission type except location permissions if used via
the enum-based API.
Since Android's platform permission API doesn't have an
Undetermined status, we keep a hash of the status for each
permission type, and by default checkPermission() would
return Undetermined, until a requestPermission() call
is done which updates the internal hash, and after that
checkPermission() would return properly Granted/Denied.

When submitting applications to the iOS and macOS AppStore the
application goes through static analysis, which will trigger on
uses of various privacy protected APIs, unless the application
has a corresponding usage description for the permission in the
Info.plist file. This applies even if the application never
requests the given permission, but just links to a Qt library
that has the offending symbols or library dependencies.
To ensure that the application does not have to add usage
descriptions to their Info.plist for permissions they never
plan to use we split up the various permission implementations
into small static libraries that register with the Qt plugin
mechanism as permission backends. We can then inspect the
application's Info.plist at configure time and only add the
relevant static permission libraries.
Furthermore, since some permissions can be checked without any
usage description, we allow the implementation to be split up
into two separate translation units. By putting the request in
its own translation unit we can selectively include it during
linking by telling the linker to look for a special symbol.
This is useful for libraries such as Qt Multimedia who would
like to check the current permission status, but without
needing to request any permission of its own.

Many features of today's devices and operating systems can have
significant privacy, security, and performance implications if
misused. It's therefore increasingly common for platforms to
require explicit consent from the user before accessing these
features.
The Qt permission APIs allow the application to check or request
permission for such features in a cross platform manner.
The check is always synchronous, and can be used in both
library and application code, from any thread.
The request is asynchronous, and should be initiated from
application code on the main thread. The result of the request
can be delivered to lambdas, standalone functions, or
regular member functions such as slots, with an optional
context parameter to manage the lifetime of the request.
Individual permissions are distinct types, not enum values,
and can be added and extended at a later point.
