Subject: Qt6 Base and Module Updates

Hello All,

This is the first email introducing a patch set for Qt6 updates.  Maxim Couyer did the hard work of patching qtbase and showing a way to migrate gradually away from Qt5 (sorry this is not branched off those patches).  The other patches aim to replace existing Qt5 packages with their Qt6 analogues, and also add the Qt5Compat module.

In subsequent patches, I would like to complete the additional modules which round out Qt 6.1.0 "everywhere" .

Known issues:
* qtcontrols2 and qtdatavis3d do not build but I think need a few tweaks potentially identified in Qt bugtracker.

Best regards,
Eric
