* Downgraded macOS CI to Qt 6.2.0 due to a bug in Qt Test module
* Revised cmake build scripts
* For now, only building via cmake is supported

This is a prerequisite for using boost stacktrace.
Note that this is not the first version that introduces boost stacktrace but the version that
should be stable enough.
PR #16986.
Although the detection is working, the error message in autotools is not
perfect, i.e. it would only mention valid range for libtorrent v1 and it
shouldn't be a problem since v2 support isn't fully ready yet.
The basic idea is we create a version header template at
"src/base/version.h.in" and the build systems are expected to replace
strings that are enclosed with @ symbols and generate
"src/base/version.h" for other source files to consume/include.
This was default before CMake overhaul, and it doesn't
make sense to use static builds with daily developement.
Also static Qt builds are not readily available on Windows.
- Bump minimum required version and
make use of more modern language features
- Rely more on target_...() commands to establish dependency
relationships between targets rather than directory property commands
- Improve libtorrent package discovery
- Enable and handle application features more explicitly
- Improve user-facing output
- Fix various compilation issues on Windows (MSVC and MinGW) and macOS
- Improve handling of translations
- Add explanatory comments where relevant
- Make CMake scripts fully independent of qmake files/details
- Remove old functions/macros
1. Use FeatureSummary module to show configuration results.
2. Invert option()/find_package() relationship: instead of
calling find_package(... REQUIRED) when option is set, rely on optional
find package call and PackageName_FOUND variable.
3. Refactor handling options that result in simple preprocessor defines
(actually copy the snippet from libtorrent) so that everything is done
in a single function call.
4. Populate target properties in order to get rid of
include_directories() calls.
Enable backtrace stuff only if GNU C library used, because current
backtrace implementation based on <execinfo.h> , which is not a
part of standard C library, it is a GNU extension.
This will be usefull when building with custom POSIX-compilant C
library (like musl) and no <execinfo.h> available.
Note: configure script will detect presence of <execinfo.h> and
enable/disable feature depending on it.
Feature is enabled by default.
