Examples are intended to show how to build against an installed Qt.
Building them as part of the main build means the way the Qt targets
are defined and created are not representative of an end user's build.
By building them as separate projects using ExternalProject, we can
more closely replicate the intended audience's environment. This
should allow us to catch more problems earlier.
Having examples built as part of the main build also creates problems
with some static builds where a tool built by the main build is needed
during configure time. This happens with other repos like qtdeclarative
but not (currently) with qtbase. Converting the examples in qtbase to
be built using ExternalProject is intended as a demonstrator for how
other repos can do similar. Until other repos are converted, they will
continue to work as they did before, with examples as part of the main
build for non-static builds only.
The new build-externally behavior is only supported for non-prefix
builds with this change. Prefix builds will continue to use the old
non-external method. Support for building examples externally in
prefix builds will be a separate change.

Move the project prelude to
examples/widgets/tools/plugandpaint/CMakeLists.txt
to mark it as the entry point of the example project.
Remove the project prelude from all its subdirectories, because the
subdirs are not supposed to be built separately.
Remove the wrong code that pro2cmake generated for the application's
project file. That merely tried to link the basictools static plugin.
Move common initialization code (CMAKE_AUTO*, INSTALL_EXAMPLESDIR) to
the top-level plugandpaint project file.
Remove superfluous CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR.
Set the output directory of the extrafilters plugin to the application's
build directory such that the app can find the plugin without having to
install the example.
Skip regeneration in those files, to avoid scattering the project files
with special case markers.

This patch adds a publicly callable qt6_add_plugin() API to create
plugins. This API is meant to cover cases such as the plugandpaint
example.
This patch also renames qt_add_plugin to qt_internal_add_plugin in order
to avoid clashes with the public API. To avoid breaking the existing
projects, a compatibility wrapper function is enabled by default unless
QT_DISABLE_QT_ADD_PLUGIN_COMPATIBILITY is specified.

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.
