After the update to the CMake based build system the ability to
generate pkgconfig files, like it was with QMake, was lost.
This patch adds pkgconfig generation again via a new internal command
named qt_internal_export_pkg_config_file.
The functionality of this command consists in checking if the target
is internal. Then gets the compile definitions. It performs a search
for dependencies that is somewhat similar to
qt_get_direct_module_dependencies, although it won't recurse down for
more deps. Each dependency is then again, checked if it's internal or
has a public interface. Later these deps get deduplicated and lastly
a pkgconfig file is filled.
The resulting pkgconfig files of many of the Qt6 packages were
validated via invocations of `pkg-config --validate` and
`pkg-config --simulate` commands and later used to build local
projects plus tests that use the pkg-config provided details at
compilation time.
Although it has some limitations, with qt_internal_add_qml_module if
it specifies non-public deps these won't be listed and with non-Qt
requirements, notably in static builds, not being appended to the
PkgConfig file.
