Needed for subsequent change that will check and error out if the
version is lower than 3.16. We do that to ensure all policies
introduced by CMake up to version 3.16 have their behavior set to
NEW.

User projects can set the QT_PROMOTE_TO_GLOBAL_TARGETS variable to
true so that the various imported targets created by find_package(Qt6)
are promoted to global targets.
This would allow a project to find Qt packages in a subdirectory scope
while using those Qt targets from a different scope.
E.g. it fixes errors like
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (target_link_libraries):
Error evaluating generator expression:
$<TARGET_OBJECTS:Qt6::Widgets_resources_1>
Objects of target "Qt6::Widgets_resources_1" referenced but no such
target exists.
when trying to use a static Qt from a sibling scope.
Various 3rd party dependency targets (like Atomic or ZLIB) are not
made global due to limitations in CMake, but as long as those targets
are not mentioned directly, it shouldn't cause issues.
The targets are made global in the generated
QtFooAdditionalTargetInfo.cmake file.
To ensure that resource object libraries promoted, the generation
of the file has to be done at the end of the defining scope
where qt_internal_export_additional_targets_file is called,
which is achieved with a deferred finalizer.
Replaced all occurrences of target promotion with a helper function
which allows tracing of all promoted targets by specifying
--log-level=debug to CMake.
Pick-to: 6.2
