Updates for the Qt 6.2.x and 6.5.x LTS versions are only being provided
to commercial customers so the latest version is the only feasible one
to use.
Builds with older 6.x versions are still being tested implicitly by
using the Qt versions provided by the various distros.
Qt 5.15 will be EOL on May 26 so we should start switching away from it.
We already have issues with many of the previous versions and qmake on
legacy distros so we should cut that off.
I will add a Qt6 release build for Windows in another PR so it can be
tested. We should switch to it as the delivered build after the next
release and stop using Qt5 altogether in the CI in the release
afterwards (that would get rid of several build steps). We could leave
it so you could still try to build it but no longer support it so it is
up to the user to get it to work before removing it completely later on.
Windows XP Pro x64 was released on April 25, 2005 and consumer
processors supporting x86-64 have been around almost as long. Although
there are still 32-bit Windows images available there is not much of a
point maintaining support for these. We also never did any x86 builds
for non-Windows platforms in CI so we don't even know if we work on
those. You might still be able to build 32-bit binaries via CMake.
* updated workflows to `jurplel/install-qt-action@v3`
* release-windows.yml: removed installation of unavailable `qthelp` module
* release-windows.yml: do not hard-code `tools_openssl_x64` version

* specify `check-latest: true` for `actions/setup-python` so we always use the latest version
* scriptcheck.yml: added note about `shellcheck`
* cleaned up triage.pro and pass all triage files to selfcheck
* CI-unixish.yml: factored out redundant selfcheck flags
* CI-unixish.yml: cleaned up selfcheck suppressions and fixed warnings
* added explicit `missingInclude` checks to selfcheck to work around current issues/limitations / fixed selfcheck includes / added some unit tests for `missingInclude`
* applied the selfcheck changes to the sanitizer jobs
* only fail TSAN CI build in case of TSAN error / updated sanitizer CI build TODOs
* modernized some CMake invocations
