Alexey Edelev b89d63515b Replace the syncqt.pl script with syncqt tool
syncqt.pl adds an extra dependency on perl when building Qt. Modern C++
provides the convenient cross-platform way to access a filesystem and
to use regular expressions, so we may replace the perl script with C++
application. The syncqt executable is built at configure time and
installed as QtCore tool. It's running at configure time to deliver the
required header files for IDE to build a consistent code model and at
the build time to keep tracking changes in header files and generate
the missing aliases without reconfiguring. 'syncqt' only parses header
files from a CMake build tree, so the resulting Qt installation only
contains interfacing headers that belong to the platform that Qt is
built for. 'sync.profile' files are not used as the 'source of truth'
for sync qt procedure anymore, all the necessary information is taken
from either CMake files at configure time or from the module header
files while parsing them.

syncqt.pl is still in place since it's required as fallback solution
for a smooth transition to the new syncqt implementation for all qt
repositories.

This patchset only enables the C++ based syncqt for 'qtbase'
repository.

From the performance perspective C++ version works faster then perl
script, also the configure time is reduced significally on subsequent
reconfigurations - up x2 times faster when re-configuring repository,
but it also takes time to compile the tool itself the first time.
Numbers for qtbase:
           syncqt.pl  syncqt.cpp
 initial:  0m16,035s  0m20,413s
 reconfig: 0m6,819s   0m3,725s

The syncing procedure can be run separately for each module using
<ModuleName>_sync_headers targets. The 'sync_headers' target can be
used to sync all the modules at once.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
