Qt6 is built with cmake, but qmake is still installed and supported as
a build tool for applications [1]. This series revives an older patch
exporting qmake for Qt6, extends pkg-qmake to support Qt6 and uses qwt
and cutekeyboard as test cases.

[1] https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt6-buildsystem.html

Changes in v6:
- rebase on master (qt6 6.11.2, cutekeyboard 1.7.0)
- package/cutekeyboard: drop the redundant select of
  BR2_PACKAGE_QT6BASE_GUI, already selected by
  BR2_PACKAGE_QT6DECLARATIVE_QUICK, as pointed out by Andrea Ricchi
- add Reviewed-by of Andrea Ricchi on patch 6

Changes in v5:
- rebase on master (qt6 6.11.1, cutekeyboard 1.6.0)
- drop the RFC tag
- pkg-qmake no longer hardcodes the Qt versions.
- package/pkg-qmake: document in the manual which Qt base package is
  added to the dependencies
- package/qt6: set ArchData, LibraryExecutables, Plugins and QmlImports
  in qt.conf.in. The host qmake defaults are relative to the host build
  layout, so qmake packages installed their plugins and QML modules in
  /usr/plugins and /usr/qml instead of /usr/lib/qt6/{plugins,qml}, where
  the target Qt6 looks for them
- package/qt6:
  - quote QT_QMAKE_DEVICE_OPTIONS, it is a cmake list and the unquoted
    ';' were split by the shell
  - Replace QT6BASE_CXX_FLAGS with TARGET_CFLAGS/TARGET_CXXFLAGS
    directly, as suggested by Thomas
  - drop the redundant mkdir
- new patch adding QT6_QT_CONF_FIXUP for the per-package directories
  case, as Qt5 does.
- package/qwt: OpenGL option depends on BR2_PACKAGE_QT6_GL_SUPPORTS,
  which is what BR2_PACKAGE_QT6BASE_OPENGL requires
- add Tested-by of Richard Genoud on patch 1
