Kai Koehne c57520e491 Document how to use CMake on Qt Core, Qt GUI's central pages
Add documentation on how to use a module from CMake, alongside
the existing documentation about qmake. Separate generic info
from module-specific examples, to make it possible to use one
include file in all modules.

While at it, also remove the mentioning of the central include;
it is not something we should actively advocate anymore. Instead,
the documentation of every class gives the correct include to use.

\section1 Using the Module
Using a Qt module requires linking against the module library, either
directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated
support for this, including \l{CMake Documentation}{CMake} and
\l{qmake}.
\section2 Building with CMake
Use the \c{find_package()} command to locate the needed module components in
the \c{Qt5} package:

\section2 Building with qmake
To configure the module for building with qmake, add the module as a value
of the \c QT variable in the project's .pro file:
