[Development] Decrease amount of qt releases in online installer

[Jani Heikkinen]

Hi,

Currently, more than 60 Qt releases can be installed from the Qt open source online installer (if all installation categories are selected). This requires a huge amount of disk space on the mirrors and also causes some performance issues with the online installer. That's why I suggest removing the older ones from the online installer; these releases can still be found in the archive as source packages and offline installers.

But what are the ones that can be removed? I suggest removing all Qt 5 except Qt 5.15.x. And maybe we could also remove the oldest Qt6s, e.g. all Qt 6.0.x, 6.1.x?

Any objections or other opinions?

br,
Jani
