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

Qmake should not rebuild all the code in QtCore, but currently it does.
When linking against QtCore, all the symbols get duplicated. A clever
linker will "deduplicate" the symbols again, so this actually works
with shared Qt builds, but it fails for static builds.
Do not rely on the linker being clever and just do not link Qt at all
for qmake.

Two changes were needed:
- correctly link against frameworks
- use qcore_mac.cpp instead of qcore_mac_objc.mm, because we don't
