Visual Studio 2019 introduced the dubbed FH4 feature
which can make C++ exception handling smaller on x64.
According to the article [1], it's enabled by default
for UWP applications, and Microsoft also use it in
their own widely-known commercial products such as
Office to reduce the binary size.
So make use of this feature for Qt when possible, to
get smaller binary.
As a drive-by, add "/EHs-c-" explicitly to the flags
when we want to disable C++ exception handling.

This hasn't worked for some time. It's not in our CI and I don't think
it was working at all. When I tried to build it, I ran into several
problems with C++17 and an Internal Compiler Error I did not have any
interest in working around.
After discussing with the Intel compiler team, it was decided that
fixing those issues in the old compiler is not going to happen. Instead,
their recommendation is to adopt the new LLVM-based compiler, which
the last commit added support for.
This commit does not remove qmake support for the old ICC. It's possible
someone is using qmake with a non-Qt6 project and ICC.

By not including ASM in the languages for which compiler flags are

Similarly, linker flags for MODULE target types should also have their
debugging and incremental linking flags adjusted, just like EXE and
SHARED targets. When building with MSVC, MODULE targets were having
the relevant flags stripped, but not then replaced with the desired
ones, leaving them empty in typical scenarios. This would primarily
affect plugins, which are built as MODULE rather than SHARED libraries.

Functions in QtFlagHandlingHelpers.cmake try to update the CMake cache
variables for compiler and linker flags. These were using the current
value of those variables and writing the modified ones back to the
cache every time CMake ran. If a toolchain file sets or modifies any of
these variables, that updated value is used and written back into the
cache instead of the original cache variable's value. The next time
CMake executes, the toolchain file re-applies the same change and the
variable grows longer each time with flags repeated. With Ninja, this
causes a complete rebuild every time CMake is re-run. The Android NDK
toolchain file is one example where this behavior is triggered (the
fault is shared, one could argue that the NDK should only be setting
..._INIT variables, but that's out of our control).
Another related bug in the previous implementation was that the flags
used to build after the first CMake execution could be different to
those used for all builds after the second and later CMake runs. This
is because the CMake cache was being updated, but not always the
calling scope of the functions that modified them. If a toolchain file
set any of the compiler or linker flag variables as non-cache
variables, then updating the cache variable would have no effect on
the calling scope. The non-cache variable would continue to take
precedence for that scope for that run. The next time CMake executes
though, the updated cache variable would now have been used by the
toolchain file and the change *will* be part of the non-cache
variable's value.
The above are examples of why you should try to avoid updating these
cache variables from project code. We could leave the cache alone and
always update only non-cache variables, but then a developer looking
at the cache may wonder why the values they see there don't match the
values being used in builds. Or worse, they think the cache values
are being used and don't realize the builds are using something
different. Ultimately, we have to choose which downside we are happy
to live with. The changes here preserve the previous intent of
updating the cache, but it's still a bit fragile.

The Windows headers themselves are clean starting from the
Windows Fall Creators SDK (10.0.16299.0), and moreover Qt 6 will
drop WinRT; therefore, the comment in the mkspecs does not apply

Since /permissive- implies /Zc:referenceBinding, drop that

Introduce a new feature called 'FEATURE_msvc_obj_debug_info' which
should allow usage of sccache for Windows MSVC configs.
Enabling the feature will replace the default '/Zi' compile flag
that CMake sets in Windows-MSVC.cmake with '/Z7'.
This ensures that the debug info is placed into the compiled object
file instead of placing it in the compilation .pdb file via
mspdbsrv.exe.
The final pdb file will still be created for shared libraries and
executables due to the linker '/debug' flag.
Static libraries will not have a .pdb file, instead the debug info
being embeeded in the .lib file.
The downsides of using '/Z7' are more disk space usage, slower
link times, more memory used for linking because the linker needs
to deal with more symbols.
The upside is that caching each indepedent cl.exe call is possible.
This is what Chromium uses with goma, and Firefox with sccache.
We're not enabling the feature by default to allow easier
testing (and switching it off) in the CI if it proves not to be
feasible.
It will probably have to be disabled at least for building
qtwebengine due to high memory requirements.

There are inconsistencies in the default optimization flags added by
CMake across configurations like Release and RelWithDebInfo.
In particular Release uses -O3, whereas RelWithDebInfo uses -O2,
as well as usage of /INCREMENTAL in release configs with MSVC, etc.
To make sure that the Qt 6 binaries built with CMake are consistent
across configs, as well as consistent with the flags we used when
building Qt 5 with qmake, add a horrible search and replace mechanism
to replaces the CMake flags with what our mkspecs indicate to use.
Ideally this would be done by providing custom CMake toolchain files
for each platform we support, and we might revisit that later if the
need really arises.
To implement the replacing, we first need the flags that should be
added. Port the QMAKE_CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE variables to CMake, which is
done in QtCompilerOptimization.cmake.
Then a new function called
qt_internal_set_up_config_optimizations_like_in_qmake will look for
any kind of optimization flags set in the
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> style variables, remove them, and add
the appropriate flags that qmake mkspecs provide.
On some platforms (like Windows MSVC) the function also alters the
linker CMAKE_${TYPE}_LINKER_FLAGS_<CONFIG> style variables.
The mechanism allows opting out of this replacing by
setting the QT_USE_DEFAULT_CMAKE_OPTIMIZATION_FLAGS value.
It also allows opting into removal of flags for custom configs by
providing QT_ADDITIONAL_OPTIMIZATION_FLAG_CONFIGS. It's only removal,
because we wouldn't know what kind of config it is, and thus what
flags to add.
The currently modified configs are: Release, RelWithDebInfo,
MinSizeRel, Debug aka the usual default CMake provided ones.
The mechanism is only applied to C-like languages.
ASM is not handled to be on the safe side due to not knowing what kind
of compiler flags the platform assembler might take.
It's also important to skip RC on MSVC platforms.
