[Qt-creator] Dev: Raising the MSVC requirement for building Qt Creator itself

[Eike Ziller]

Hi,

a note that we are raising the MSVC that is required for building Qt Creator to MSVC 2022.
Support of user projects is unaffected.

653750: Raise minimum supported MSVC to 2022 | https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/653750

To quote the change:

Latest changes led to crashing MSVC2019, bad and unneeded
workarounds or even disabling parts of the build.
Mainstream support of MSVC2019 has ended mid last year
and it only gets security and critical fixes nowadays.
Microsoft recommends upgrading to 2022 anyhow and the
Qt versions supported to build QC are compatible with
MSVC2022.

Best regards, Eike
