If a find_package(Qt6Foo) call has the QUIET option passed, don't
display the incompatible version warning.
Also if the find_package call has the EXACT option passed, and the
searched for version does not match the package version exactly,
there's no point in showing the warning because find_package
will reject the package anyway, even if we set
PACKAGE_VERSION_COMPATIBLE to TRUE

When building Qt repos, all find_package(Qt6) calls request a
PROJECT_VERSION version which is set in .cmake.conf via
QT_REPO_MODULE_VERSION.
This means trying to configure qtsvg from a 6.3 branch using a
6.2 qtbase won't work, because qtsvg will call find_package(Qt6 6.3)
and no such Qt6 package version exists.
There are certain scenarios where it might be useful to try to do
that though.
One of them is doing Qt development while locally mixing branches.
Another is building a 6.4 QtWebEngine against a 6.2 Qt.
Allow to opt out of the version check by configuring each Qt repo
with -DQT_NO_PACKAGE_VERSION_CHECK=TRUE. This setting is not
recorded and will have to be set again when configuring another
repo.
The version check will also be disabled by default when configuring
with the -developer-build feature. This will be recorded and embedded
into each ConfigVersion file.
If the version check is disabled, a warning will be shown mentioning
the incompatible version of a package that was found but that package
will still be accepted.
The warning will show both when building Qt or using Qt in a user
project.
The warnings can be disabled by passing
-DQT_NO_PACKAGE_VERSION_INCOMPATIBLE_WARNING=TRUE
Furthermore when building a Qt repo, another warning will show when an
incompatible package version is detected, to suggest to the Qt builder
whether they want to use the incompatible version by disabling the
version check.
Note that there are no compatibility promises when using mixed
non-matching versions. Things might not work. These options are only
provided for convenience and their users know what they are doing.
