When doing a top-level build,
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX is not set in the
top-level scope. There's no point really in using the relocatable
path anyway, given this will only be displayed once when either
configuring qtbase or qt6.
Just use CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX directly.

Aka handle CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in a more relocatable way.
The following story inspired this change.
If a user wants to build a Qt repo into a different install prefix
than the usual Qt one, this will fail configuration because we
look for various things like syncqt, qdoc, etc relative to
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX, which will now point to a different location
where none of the above tools are located.
The intent for such a use case is to support building Qt packages with
Conan, which sets a random install prefix when configuring a repo.
The idea is to derive the qt prefix dynamically from the
QtBuildInternals package location. Essentially it's a reverse relative
path from the QtBuildInternalsConfig.cmake file to the install prefix
that was specified when initially configuring qtbase.
Once the dynamic prefix is computed (so we know where the possibly
relocated Qt is), we can find tools like syncqt and qdoc.
This is an initial attempt to support a use case like that.
More design work will probably needed in case if tools / libs need to
be found in a location different than the Qt install prefix (so
support for multiple install prefixes / search paths).
An example of such a case would be when building qtdeclarative and
qtquickcontrols2 as Conan packages in one go. Most likely the
qmltyperegistrar tool will be located in the random install prefix
set by Conan, so building qtquickcontrols2 might fail due to not
finding the tool in the original Qt install prefix.
As to the implementation details, the change does the following:
- Dynamically computes and sets the
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX variable when
find_package()'ing QtBuildInternals. It's an absolute path
pointing to where the relocated Qt is.
- When building qtbase this variable is not yet available (due
to QtBuildInternalsExtra not existing), in that case we set
the variable to the absolute path of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
(but only for the initial qtbase configuration).
- Remove QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_ORIGINAL_INSTALL_PREFIX which was used
for standalone tests purposes. It's not needed now that we compute
the location of the Qt prefix dynamically.
- The Unixy qt-cmake and qt-cmake-private shell scripts now
use a relative path to find the toolchain file we created.
- The toolchain file also dynamically computes the location of the Qt
packages, and adds them to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
- A lot of existing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX uses are replaced with
QT_BUILD_INTERNALS_RELOCATABLE_INSTALL_PREFIX. This includes finding
tool locations, mkspecs dir, path environment setup for tools, etc.
- Some places still use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH in the following cases
- When determining paths while configuring qtbase (valid cases)
- When I wasn't sure what the behavior should be, so I left them
as-is (an example is documentation generation, do we want to
install it into the random Conan prefix, or into the main prefix?
Currently it installs in the random prefix).
Note that relocating a Qt installation does not work for non-prefix /
non-installed builds, due to hardcoded paths to include directories
and libraries in generated FooTargets.cmake files.

Teaches configurejson2cmake about summaries / reports, so things
like enabled features, configure sections, notes, etc.
Add relevant CMake API for adding summary sections and entries,
as well as configure reports. The commands record the passed data,
and the data is later evaluated when the summary needs to be printed.
This is needed, to ensure that all features are evaluated by the
time the summary is printed.
Some report and summary entries are not generated if they mention a
feature that is explicitly exclduded by configurejson2cmake's feature
mapping dictionary. This is to prevent CMake from failing at configure
time when trying to evaluate an unknown feature. We should re-enable
these in the future.
A few custom report types are skipped by configurejson2cmake (like
values of qmake CONFIG or buildParts).
These will have to be addressed a case-by-case basis if still needed.
