[Interest] Provide a Means to Make Static Builds of Qt 6.1 for Android, macOS, Windows and GNU/Linux

[Alexandru Croitor]

Hi,

Coin CI mostly just calls CMake with the configuration options specified at the link below (there are some additional configuration in other sibling files)

https://github.com/qt/qt5/blob/dev/coin/platform_configs/cmake_platforms.yaml

The ones that are building Qt as static libraries have -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF in the configure arguments.

Note your subject mentions Android. Qt For Android is only supported with shared libraries.

Building the desktop platforms in a static configuration should work though.
