We only support version 4 and 5 in Qt 6.0. 1 and 2 are already gone
(due to being based on binary JSON), now we remove 3 as well.

Only keep 3, 4, and 5 because 3 is the lowest version where binary JSON
is not used anymore.

...but keep support for deserializing for all older versions in order to play
nice with existing .qsb files.
The usage of binary JSON and then CBOR is a historical artifact: relying
on the QJsonDocument (which we generate for purposes unrelated to binary
serialization) was a convenient shortcut. However, writing to and
reading from a QDataStream instead (which QShader already does) is trivial.
In order not to be limited by potential CBOR requirements in the future,
take it all into our own hands.
Extend the qshader autotest accordingly.

Binary JSON is said to become deprecated. Therefore, add support
for CBOR. Binary JSON is still supported for deserialization, so
all existing .qsb files will continue to work, as long as the
binaryjson feature is enabled in the Qt build.
Also makes QShaderDescription comparable. This is important for
tests in particular.
A nice side effect of using CBOR is that .qsb files become smaller.
For a typical Qt Quick material shader this can mean a reduction of
300 bytes or more.

Comes with backends for Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D 11.1, and OpenGL (ES).
All APIs are private for now.
Shader conditioning (i.e. generating a QRhiShader in memory or on disk
from some shader source code) is done via the tools and APIs provided
by qt-labs/qtshadertools.
The OpenGL support follows the cross-platform tradition of requiring
ES 2.0 only, while optionally using some (ES) 3.x features. It can
operate in core profile contexts as well.
