[Development] Reviving QtPIM

[Axel Spoerl]

Good morning QtPim,

Finished some work last night, that I had started last weekend:
- QtPim is now ported to CMake (using our pro2cmake tool plus some manual adaptions)
- Old license headers replaced by SPDX syntax
- "We mean it!" warning in private headers
- Added override keyword where necessary
- Finally migrated all outdated Qt5 API / macros (foreach, QPair, QRegEx and some other plumbing)
- added dependencies.yaml, to make CI work

=> QtPim builds now under Linux.
=> Reviewers, please review relation chain below https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtpim/+/741710
=> I'll respond to reviews in my free time and leave the testing on Windows / macOS to other volunteers.
=> If someone feels for it: The greatest addition to a modern QtPim would be to integrate messenger service APIs like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Teams, Facebool Messenger. I can see plenty of use cases for that.

Cheers
Axel

I can also do reviews. I can even run the code on an Android phone.
