Internally it uses a new _qt_internal_add_library function (similar
how we have qt_add_executable and _qt_internal_add_executable) as well
as finalizer code line the executable case.
_qt_internal_add_library forwards arguments to add_library with some
Qt specific adjustments to the selected default target type (based on
whether Qt is configured as static or shared).
The new _qt_internal_add_library is now used in qt_add_plugin as well
as some internal library creating functions like
qt_internal_add_module.
This reduces some duplication of file name adjustments across
functions and creates a central point for creation of Qt-like
libraries (for some definition of Qt-like).

Instead of compiling the plugin initializers as part of a user
project, pre-compile them as object libraries while building Qt.
The installed object libraries can then be used with
target_sources(qt_module INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>)
so that they are linked into the final executable or shared library
via qt module usage requirement propagation.
This reduces the build times of user projects.
The link line placement of the object files should be correct for all
linux-y linkers because the only dependency for the object files is
Core and the Gui -> plugin -> Gui -> Core cycle does not hamper that
from empirical observations.
As a consequence of the recent change not to link plugin initialization
object files into static libraries, as well not having to compile the
files in user projects, we can get rid of the
_qt_internal_disable_static_default_plugins calls in various places.
A side note.
Consider a user static library (L) that links to a Qt static library
(Gui) which provides plugins (platform plugins).
If there is an executable (E) that links to (L), with no direct
dependency to any other Qt module and the intention is that the
executable will automatically get the platform plugin linked,
then (L) needs to link PUBLIC-ly to (Gui) so that the plugin usage
requirements are propagated successfully.
This is a limitation of using
target_sources(qt_module INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>)
which will propagate object files across static libraries only if
qt_module is linked publicly.
One could try to use
target_link_libraries(qt_module
INTERFACE $<TARGET_OBJECTS:plugin_init>)
which preserves the linker arguments across static libs even if
qt_module is linked privately, but unfortunately CMake will lose
dependency information on Core, which means the object files might be
placed in the wrong place on the link line.
As far as I know this is a limitation of CMake that can't be worked
around at the moment.
Note this behavior was present before this change as well.

In static builds, we cannot allow any part of the main build to make a
call to find_package(Qt6...) where such a call may load a
Qt6*Plugins.cmake file. That would add additional dependencies to the
main module targets, setting up a circular dependency in the set of
*Config.cmake files which cannot be resolved. This scenario would be
triggered by per-repo builds or user projects.
But Qt's tools and other executables still need to load some plugins
in static builds. Sometimes a platform plugin may be enough, other
times we may want all supportable plugins (e.g. Qt Designer).
Therefore, add all plugins we can identify as relevant for an
executable that is part of the Qt build, but add them directly to the
executable without affecting the linking relationships between the
main module libraries.
Also remove the now unnecessary check for QT_BUILD_PROJECT_NAME in
top level builds because there should be no difference between per-repo
and top level builds any more (as far as linking static plugins is
concerned).
Examples that build as part of the main build will still build
successfully after this change, but they will not run if they require
a platform plugin. Examples need to be moved out to a separate build
where they can call find_package(Qt6) without QT_NO_CREATE_TARGETS
set to TRUE to be runnable (see QTBUG-90820).

When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt
modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer
CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake
version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that
change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be
updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt
module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to
address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The
policies are modified at the start of the call to
qt_build_repo_begin().
For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in
control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are
defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for
these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify
policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could
influence.
Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range
with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All
policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that
range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only
has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range.
This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy()
due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

Building a user project in Release configuration against a Qt built with

being linked against the Debug Qt libraries. This is especially painful
with MSVC where debug and release runtimes are incompatible.
We now create *AdditionalTargetInfo.cmake files along the
exported *Targets.cmake files that set the IMPORT_*_<CONFIG> properties
to the values of the release config Qt was built with.
User projects built with an unknown
configuration (CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ArbitraryName) will link against a
release Qt. This can be controlled by setting the variable
QT_DEFAULT_IMPORT_CONFIGURATION to, for example, DEBUG in the user
