[Development] Branching from '5.12' to '5.12.6' started

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi,

We have started preparations for Qt 5.12.6 release. So '5.12.6' is soft branched from '5.12' now. Please start using '5.12.6' for any new changes for Qt 5.12.6 release. 

Final downmerge from '5.12' to '5.12.6' will be done Wed 6th November so there should be enough time to finalize ongoing changes in '5.12'.

Target is to release Qt 5.12.6 15th November so make sure all release blockers are visible in blocker list (https://bugreports.qt.io/issues/?filter=21666). And fix all blockers immediately as well.

We will create initial changes files for the release soon. Please finalize those immediately when available.

br,
