Before this change, we had the following behaviors.
On platforms other than Windows-MSVC:
- when no build type was specified, we defaulted to Release
- when -developer-build was specified, we defaulted to Debug
- regardless of platform, unless the option was explicitly specified,
we never defaulted to -debug-and-release.
On Windows-MSVC, we always defaulted to Debug. Which is inconsistent
with the rules above.
The difference happens because CMake always sets CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to
Debug during the first project() call when targeting the Windows-MSVC
platform.
We interpreted that as the user setting the build type, and thus we
didn't want to override what the user specified.
After this change, if we detect that it's cmake setting the build
type, we assign a build type that follows the non-Windows-MSVC rules.
This change unifies the behavior across all platforms.
Adjusted the configure help with the new reality.

Merge all the existing checks into a single one, which is a simple pass
or fail, since all our supported compilers support all the intrinsics up
to Cannon Lake. The two I've recently added (AVX512VBMI2 and VAES)
aren't yet supported everywhere, so they stay.
For some reason, all intrinsics seem to be disabled on Android. It looks
like some support was missing during the CMake port and this was never
again looked at. I'm leaving it be.
As for WASM, discussion with maintainers is that the WASM emulation of
x86 intrinsics is too hit-and-miss. No one is testing the performance,
particularly the person writing such code (me). They also have some
non-obvious selection of what is supported natively and what is
merely emulated. Using the actual WASM intrinsics is preferred, but
someone else's job.

Introduce a new -no-prefix option that can be used to build Qt without
having to install it.
Currently, -no-prefix is already implied by -developer-build, but
-developer-build also implies -warnings-are-errors and
-feature-private-tests, which not everyone might want to use.
Some Qt builders likely use -developer-build for the no-prefix
behavior, hence we introduce a standalone -no-prefix option to offer
a nicer user experience without -Werror and friends.
Previously it was possible to achieve the same by specifying
-prefix $PWD, but that relies on $PWD expanding property in the used
shell.
The new -no-prefix doesn't depend on the type of the shell and
is shorter to type.
Internally this gets passed by configure as -DINPUT_no_prefix=yes to
CMake, and transformed into a -DQT_FEATURE_no_prefix=ON feature.
The feature also gets automatically auto-detected to ON if
developer-build is set, -prefix is either unset or $PWD.
CMake code should still query QT_WILL_INSTALL to decide whether
files need to be installed or not.
As a drive-by, we now also export QT_FEATURE_developer_build to
be available for querying during configuration of other repos
(previously it was only possible to query FEATURE_developer_build).

The option is used to specify a list of Qt repos (git submodules)
that should be included in the configuration of a top-level Qt build.
The option takes a comma-separated list of qt submodule names e.g.
'qtbase,qtsvg,qtdeclarative'
It can also take a single value like 'qtbase' or 'qtquick3d'.
Each specified submodule and all of its transitive dependencies will
be included when configuring the top-level Qt build (assuming that the
submodules have previously been already checked out).
Any missing submodules or dependencies will not be automatically
checked out, but rather skipped. This can result in a failed
configuration if a required submodule is missing.
If some optional transitive submodule dependency is not desired in the
build, you can combine the -submodules option together with -skip
options.
E.g. configuring with
-submodules qtdoc,qtnetworkauth -skip qtmultimedia,qtimageformats
will result in a top-level build with the following submodules:
- qtbase (common dependency)
- qttools (dependency of qtdoc)
- qtactiveqt dependency of qttools)
- qshadertools (dependency of qtdeclarative)
- qtdeclarative (explicit)
- qtnetworkauth (explicit)

This marks the end of EGL and OpenGL ES support on Windows.
The concepts of -opengl dynamic, -opengl desktop, QT_OPENGL=software,
etc. remain unchanged, with the exception of the disapperance of
everything ANGLE related.
CMake builds now work identically to qmake on Windows: they default to
'dynamic' OpenGL on Windows, unless -DINPUT_opengl=desktop is specified.
On Windows, Qt 6 is expected to default to the "dynamic" OpenGL model by
default, just like Qt 5.15. This can be changed by switching to "desktop"
OpenGL, which will link to opengl32 (publicly, so other libs and applications
will do so as well) and disallows using another OpenGL DLL.
The "dynamic" mode is essential still because the fallback to a software
rasterizer, such as the opengl32sw.dll we ship with the Qt packages,
has to to work exactly like in Qt 5, the removal of ANGLE does not
change this concept in any way (except of course that the middle option
of using ANGLE is now gone)
When it comes to the windows plugin's OpenGL blacklist feature, it works
like before and accepts the ANGLE/D3D related keywords. They will
then be ignored. Similarly, requesting QT_OPENGL=angle is ignored (but
will show a warning).
The D3D11 and DXGI configure time tests are removed: Qt 5.14 already
depends on D3D 11.1 and DXGI 1.3 headers being available unconditionally
on Win32 (in QRhi's D3D11 backend). No need to test for these.
[ChangeLog][Windows] ANGLE is no longer included with Qt. Dynamic OpenGL
builds work like before but ANGLE is no longer an option. OpenGL proper
or an alternative opengl32 implementation are the two remaining options
now. Attempting to set QT_OPENGL=angle or Qt::AA_UseOpenGLES will have
no effect on Windows.
