lld 16.0 is more picky about symbol versioning than previous versions
(and other linkers such as ld.bfd, gold or mold).
It now errors out if a symbol is versioned but not defined
(see 8796677de8900dc154aef45f8620c3f987a40291).
Outside of detecting support for symbol versioning (fixed by 462832),
this causes linking Qt6 libraries other than Qt6Core to fail because
their linker scripts try to add versioning to qt_version_tag, which is
defined in Qt6Core rather than the library being linked.
The obvious (and working) fix is to version qt_version_tag only where it is
defined (Qt6Core), but this is not what the original intent seems to be.

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.

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

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.
