[Development] Proposing CMake as build tool for Qt 6

[Иван Комиссаров]

Sorry, but the iOS should be properly supported before making the final decision.
Building something on macOS is easy, building smth for iOS is harder. From the top of my head it is code signing and building "fat" binaries that should be tested as a proof of concept.

I understand that Alexandru has been playing with making a Qt build with it and supplying third-party libraries via vcpkg, but I think that's nothing beyond the scope of experiments. So similarly here, contributions are welcome :)

Yet I feel that they don't represent show-stoppers from a decision making point of view. I'm confident that if others in the C++ community are able to build apps for iOS with CMake, then we will also be able to build Qt for it.
