In a -debug-and-release build, apps were placed under bin/Release
rather than just bin.
Apply the logic we use for tools for apps as well. Rename and move
the common functions into QtTargetHelpers.cmake.

Add the option argument INSTALL_VERSIONED_LINK to qt_internal_add_tool
and qt_internal_add_app. For tools/apps with this argument we create an
install rule that creates a versioned hard link. For example, for
bin/qmake we create bin/qmake6.
Note that this only applies to prefix builds.
Apply this argument to qmake.
The qt_internal_add_app change is necessary for qtdiag and in qttools.

(cherry picked from commit c19d957f45fa27f61b5ecc566f8dbc19f12a44c3)
When packaging different Qt versions for Linux distributions (or any
distribution with a common bin dir), Qt tools cannot be installed to
/usr/bin, because the executable names of the different Qt versions
clash.
To solve this conflict, our recommendation is to install Qt's tools to
/usr/lib/qt6/bin and to create versioned symlinks to user-facing tools
in /usr/bin.
User-facing tools are tools that are supposed to be started manually by
the user. They are marked in Qt's build system. Distro package
maintainers can now configure with
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-DINSTALL_BINDIR=/usr/lib/qt6/bin
-DINSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR=/usr/bin
and will find a file called user_facing_tool_links.txt in the build
directory after the cmake run. Nothing will be installed to
INSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR.
Each line of user_facing_tool_links.txt consists of the installation
path of a user-facing application followed by a space and the versioned
link name in INSTALL_PUBLICBINDIR.
Example content:
/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmake /usr/bin/qmake6
To actually create the versioned symlinks, the content of this file can
be fed to ln like this:
xargs ln -s < build-dir/user_facing_tool_links.txt
Or the package maintainer may decide to do something completely
different as suits their needs.
This patch adds the USER_FACING argument to qt_internal_add_tool to mark
tools as user-facing. In addition, every Qt created by
qt_internal_add_app is treated as user-facing.
The only tool this patch marks as user-facing in qtbase is qmake.

In multi-config builds (which equals the debug-and-release feature) we
exclude tools of the non-main configurations from the default build.
But we still create installation rules for them. Mark those as optional
to avoid "cmake --install" yielding errors if those tools weren't built.

Some of them have a different (hopefully better) name now.
Some are marked as Technical Preview.
Some are renamed to be internal.
Marking add_qt_gui_executable as TP with the intention to un-TP it

Additional changes to add_qt_gui_executable and qt6_add_resources have

qt_apply_rpaths takes into account properties like MACOSX_BUNDLE. This
property might not yet be set when qt_internal_add_app is called, but
later.
To handle that, move the call of qt_apply_rpaths to
qt_internal_finalize_app.
As a result, the installed apps will have 2 rpaths, the $ORIGIN style
relocatable one, and an absolute path one pointing to the Qt
prefix/lib. The last one might be unnecessary.

QtBuild.cmake is huge. Split it.
Move module, plugin, tools, executables and test related functions out
of QtBuild.cmake into separate files.
Do the same for many other things too.
An additional requirement is that all the new Helpers files only
define functions and macros.
No global variable definitions are allowed, nor execution of commands
with side effects.
Some notes:
qt_install_qml_files is removed because it's dead code.
Some functions still need to be figured out, because they are
interspersed and depend on various global state assignments.
