[Qt-creator] Raising the minimum required Qt version for building Qt Creator 14+ to Qt 6.4(.3)

[Mike Trahearn]

Could you please qualify why not Qt 6.5 LTS at this time? We are not that far away from the next LTS.

Subject: [Qt-creator] Raising the minimum required Qt version for building Qt Creator 14+ to Qt 6.4(.3)

Hi,

we would like to raise the Qt version required for building Qt Creator to Qt 6.4(.3), starting with Qt Creator 14 (current master branch).
That does not affect which Qt versions you can use for developing your own applications.

Qt 6.5 is the latest LTS version of Qt.
Qt 6.6 is released (and we build prebuilt packages with it).
Qt 6.7 will release soon.

Raising the requirement to Qt 6.4 still leaves 4 minor Qt versions including a LTS line for building Qt Creator.

Feel free to comment here or on the change!
