[Qtwebengine] Working in QtWebEngine and IDE support

Hi,

I've recently spent time exploring and playing with Qt WebEngine internals.

However my setup is a bit painful to work with. So I'm looking for advice
and tips on how to have a correct/efficient work environment to work inside
QtWE.

In particular I'm interested in IDE support. VS Code has a pretty poor code
model and when following symbols I end up in the wrong namespace. With Qt
creator I only see files that are in the api folders.

How to you build Qt with QtWebEngine? Do you build Qt and QtWebEngine
together? Or do you build Qt without QtWE, and then build QtWE on it's own?

Do you have any tips to speed up consecutive builds of QtWE? When I change
a single cop file, the next build seems to be a bit long for a single file
change.

Thank you for your help

Regards

Benjamin
