We can't use qt_internal_export_modern_cmake_config_targets_file for
executables like tools, because it's not possible to use
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES with executables like you can with libraries.
We also can't create aliases to non-global imported targets.
Instead create new imported executable targets, fish out the imported
location, and assign it to the versionless targets.

Create CMake config files which can be used from the very same CMake
project. These CMake config files simply do not create any targets,
controlled via the QT_NO_CREATE_TARGETS.
This patch also allows to build qtbase.git:examples as a standalone
project, against an already-built Qt.
Ran this:
ag -s "QT " examples -l -0 | xargs -0 -n 1 .../util/cmake/pro2cmake.py --is-example

Also make the tool package depend on all tool packages that correspond
to the qt module dependencies.
So find_package(Qt5Widgets) implicitly calls find_package(Qt5WidgetTools).
And find_package(Qt5WidgetsTools) will call find_package for
Qt5GuiTools, and Qt5CoreTools.
This enhances the user experience, so that in modules like qtsvg, you
don't have to specify both find_package(Qt5Widgets) and
find_package(Qt5WidgetsTools), but only the former.
Or when cross building, you only need to specify Qt5WidgetTools, to get
both Core and Gui tools.

CMake will now generate config and target files for each module that
provides tools. As a result, namespaced global targets such as
Qt5::moc or Qt5::rcc can be made available.
Third party projects that require just these tools, and not the Qt
modules themselves, should specify CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH pointing to the
installed Qt location, and call find_package(Qt5CoreTools),
find_package(Qt5GuiTools), etc.
It is also possible to call
find_package(Qt5Tools REQUIRED Core Widgets) where the last option
is a list of modules whose tools should be imported.
Note that all the tools are in the Qt5::
namespace and not in the Qt5CoreTools:: or Qt5WidgetsTools::
namespace.
This commit also changes the behavior regarding when to build tools
while building Qt itself.
When cross compiling Qt (checked via CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING) or when
-DQT_FORCE_FIND_TOOLS=TRUE is passed, tools added by add_qt_tool will
always be searched for and not built.
In this case the user has to specify the CMake variable QT_HOST_PATH
pointing to an installed host Qt location.
When not cross compiling, tools added by add_qt_tool are built from
source.
When building leaf modules (like qtsvg) that require some tool that was
built in qtbase (like moc), the module project should contain a
find_package(Qt5ToolsCore) call and specify an appropriate
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH so that the tool package is found.
Note that because HOST_QT_TOOLS_DIRECTORY was replaced by QT_HOST_PATH,
the ensure syncqt code was changed to make it work properly with
both qtbase and qtsvg.
Here's a list of tools and their module associations:
qmake, moc, rcc, tracegen, qfloat16-tables, qlalr -> CoreTools
qvkgen -> GuiTools
uic -> WidgetTools
dbus related tools -> DBusTools
