e5b3436255 CMake: Add default launch screen storyboard for iOS apps
Bundle a default LaunchScreen.storyboard file for an iOS app and make
sure it's referenced in the generated Info.plist file.

When launching Qt examples, it ensures the app uses the whole screen
space on the device rather than just a square-ish part of it.

The storyboard file is a copy of the qmake one, which qmake adds
to the Xcode projects it generates.

A custom launch screen can be provided either by setting the
QT_IOS_LAUNCH_SCREEN variable or by setting the
QT_IOS_LAUNCH_SCREEN target property.
The value must be an absolute path to the launch screen file.

The automatic addition of the launch screen entry in the Info.plist
file can be prevented by setting the QT_NO_SET_IOS_LAUNCH_SCREEN
variable to TRUE.

The automatic bundling of the launch screen file in the application
bundle can be prevented by setting the
QT_NO_ADD_IOS_LAUNCH_SCREEN_TO_BUNDLE variable to TRUE.

The current implementation has a limitation that only one launch
screen storyboard and one iOS executable can exist within a project.

If there are multiple executables in the project, all of them will
use the launch screen that is specified last (the last
qt_add_executable call).

Because of this limitation, the API is marked as Technical Preview,
to be improved upon in the future. For now it simply serves as an
improvement to the out-of-the-box experience of iOS apps built
with CMake.
