Add QRhi APIs to retrieve and reload the contents of the "pipeline cache". The only API where there is a true pipeline cache is object is Vulkan (VkPipelineCache). For OpenGL, the other backend where we support this, it is simulated with program binaries. The Qt 5 style OpenGL program binary disk cache continues to work like before, but one has now the option to do things in a more modern, graphics API agnostic way, that leads to generating a single blob instead of a large set of files in some system location, allowing easier "pre-baking" of the cache content. It is expected that Qt Quick exposes the two new functions in form if QSG_RHI_ environment variables, thus allowing easy testing and cache file generation. As an example for the performance improvements this can give, consider Vulkan, where we do not have any existing persistent caching mechanism in place: Running BenchmarkDemoQt6.exe --scene flythrough --mode demo creates 18 QRhiGraphicsPipeline objects from Qt Quick and Qt Quick 3D. The total time spent in QRhiGraphicsPipeline::create() during application startup for these 18 pipelines is 35-40 ms on a given Windows (NVIDIA) system. When exporting the pipeline cache contents to a file, and then, in a subsequent run, reloading the cache contents, this is reduced to 5-7 ms on the same system, meaning we get a 6-7x improvement. The generated data is always specific to a given Qt version, RHI backend, graphics device, and driver version. Much of the implementation consists of adding and verifying the appropriate header to the blobs retrieved from the driver, to allow gracefully ignoring data that was generated with a device or driver that differs from the one used at run time. This should provide robustness, even if the Vulkan or OpenGL implementation is for some reason not prepared to identity and reject incompatible cache/program blobs.

README
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.
