When generating .pc files there is a warning when executing
QtFinishPkgConfigFile.cmake:
Ignoring empty string ("") provided on the command line.
This happens because the 'postfix' argument is a part of the script
command line even if it's empty. It also makes no sense to check if
'postfix' is empty using genex, use configuring-time check instead.

Conditions with the LINK_LANGUAGE genex are not parsed correctly when
generating .pc file. So link options will be added unconditionally.

After the update to the CMake based build system the ability to
generate pkgconfig files, like it was with QMake, was lost.
This patch adds pkgconfig generation again via a new internal command
named qt_internal_export_pkg_config_file.
The functionality of this command consists in checking if the target
is internal. Then gets the compile definitions. It performs a search
for dependencies that is somewhat similar to
qt_get_direct_module_dependencies, although it won't recurse down for
more deps. Each dependency is then again, checked if it's internal or
has a public interface. Later these deps get deduplicated and lastly
a pkgconfig file is filled.
The resulting pkgconfig files of many of the Qt6 packages were
validated via invocations of `pkg-config --validate` and
`pkg-config --simulate` commands and later used to build local
projects plus tests that use the pkg-config provided details at
compilation time.
Although it has some limitations, with qt_internal_add_qml_module if
it specifies non-public deps these won't be listed and with non-Qt
requirements, notably in static builds, not being appended to the
PkgConfig file.
