[Development] Build system for Qt 6

"

first things first: If you're happy with cmake, you can stop reading now.
Nobody is proposing that LLVM moves off cmake, and nobody is proposing
anything that's causing people using cmake more work.

Just some observation:

LLVM/Clang is a bigger project using CMake for some longer time and
coincidentally, just now, there is a discussion whether they should add
GN build files to their repositories as, let me quote:

"""
cmake is great for many use cases, but in my opinion local day-to-day
development isn't one of them.
"""

Clang: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2018-October/060006.html
LLVM: https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2018-October/127342.html
