When a CMake release introduces a new policy that affects most Qt
modules, it may be appropriate to make each module aware of that newer
CMake version and use the NEW policy without raising the minimum CMake
version requirement. To reduce the churn associated with making that
change across all Qt modules individually, this change allows it to be
updated in a central place (qtbase), but in a way that allows a Qt
module to override it in its own .cmake.conf file if required (e.g. to
address the issues identified by policy warnings at a later time). The
policies are modified at the start of the call to
qt_build_repo_begin().
For commands defined by the qtbase module, qtbase needs to be in
control of the policy settings at the point where those commands are
defined. The above mechanism should not affect the policy settings for
these commands, so the various *Config.cmake.in files must not specify
policy ranges in a way that a Qt module's .cmake.conf file could
influence.
Starting with CMake 3.12, policies can be specified as a version range
with the cmake_minimum_required() and cmake_policy() commands. All
policies introduced in CMake versions up to the upper limit of that
range will be set to NEW. The actual version of CMake being used only
has to be at least the lower limit of the specified version range.
This change uses cmake_minimum_required() rather than cmake_policy()
due to the latter not halting further processing upon failure.

For consistency, apply the following renamings:
QT_NO_MAKE_EXAMPLES -> QT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_BY_DEFAULT
QT_NO_MAKE_TESTS -> QT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT
QT_NO_MAKE_TOOLS -> QT_BUILD_TOOLS_BY_DEFAULT
BUILD_EXAMPLES -> QT_BUILD_EXAMPLES
BUILD_TESTING -> QT_BUILD_TESTS
This should help to better convey the difference between "BUILD" and
"NO_MAKE".
To configure tests, but not to build them by default, pass the
following to CMake:
-DQT_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DQT_BUILD_TESTS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF
Analoguous for examples:
-DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_BY_DEFAULT=OFF
Tools can be excluded from the default build with:
-DBUILD_TOOLS_BY_DEFAULT=OFF
The variable BUILD_TESTING is still available and initialized with the
value of QT_BUILD_TESTS.

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.

Now all shared libraries and executables will get .debug files on
the platforms that support FEATURE_separate_debug_info
With the directory property _qt_skip_separate_debug_info certain
targets can retain the debug symbols in the binary e.g. lupdate with
MinGW 8.1.0 will cause objcopy / strip to fail.

Add an EXTRA_CMAKE_FILES argument to qt_internal_add_tool()

This is modelled after similar functionality in qt_internal_add_module.

...for QT_BUILD_TOOLS_WHEN_CROSSCOMPILING.
qt_internal_export_additional_targets_file now gets two lists of target
names when run from qt_export_tools:
- TARGETS containing actually existing targets, and
- TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES containing the target names as they appear in the
additional target info file.
Operations that require actual targets are run on the TARGETS, in the
additional target info file only TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES are written.
This distinction is required for the case where the host Qt lacks a
tool that is built in the target Qt.
Example: host Qt is built with DEVELOPER_BUILD=OFF, target Qt is built
with DEVELOPER_BUILD=ON. Then the host Qt lacks qmljs, but it is built
in the target Qt. TARGETS contains qmljs_native, and
TARGET_EXPORT_NAMES contains qmljs.

Supports installing linker generated debug info for shared libraries
and executables, as well as compiler generated debug info for static
libraries.
Works with Ninja Multi-Config as well, with the caveat that the files
are installed optionally, aka the install rule will not error out if
a pdb file is not present. This is necessary, because it's not
possible to create per-config install rules properly.

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.
