All the changes are part of updating the package. The new version is
built against Qt6 and requires different inputs, which also makes
compiling the tests fail as they are not maintained to work with those
new inputs. Earlier just passing #:tests? #f was sufficient to bypass
them because they compiled fine and only failed when ran.

I can try to write a better commit message if you tell which parts
require their own lines, or you can clarify it yourself when applying.

It is added implicitly by qt-build-system based on the #:qtbase
argument. I don't know if qt-build-system worked like that when I
submitted the first version of this package, but it probably did and I
just didn't realize it.
