Another one:

# Bumping the required CMake version for building Qt Creator to CMake 3.16 and later

Seems to be available on Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11 and others (https://pkgs.org/search/?q=cmake), and lets us get rid of some workarounds.

We also had a nice transitioning period of more than a year (Qt Creator 4.14 being the first version that was released based on the CMake build).
