Previously _qt_internal_collect_apk_dependencies() only collected
targets that were built by the current project and informed
androiddeployqt their directory paths for deployment consideration.
The libraries would be bundled into the apk based on whether
the application links to any of those libraries directly,
e.g. via target_link_libraries.
CMake 3.21 added a new feature that allows us to query all IMPORTED
targets in a directory scope. Using this information we can now tell
androiddeployqt about these libraries as well, of course only when a
new enough CMake version is used. Introduce
_qt_internal_collect_apk_imported_dependencies_defer to do that.
In contrast to _qt_internal_collect_apk_dependencies(), the IMPORTED
libraries are collected by recursively looking at a target's directory
scope and its parent directories, rather than child subdirectories.
Also, the collection / deferral is done when the target's directory
scope has finished processing, rather than when the root project
has finished processing.
Why? IMPORTED libraries are usually non-global, which means we can't
refer to them in parent scopes using functions like
get_target_property, the targets don't exist in those scopes.
Note that the code only covers IMPORTED target libraries. It
does not cover INTERFACE libraries, plain library names or
file paths specified in target_link_libraries.
It also doesn't account for loadable libraries (dlopen()ed ones).
In such cases, projects still need to manually specify the library
paths in the executable's QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS target property.
To prevent the deployment json file from being extra long when
looking for IMPORTED libraries, filter out paths to Qt modules or
plugins by checking for the _qt_package_version property.
These are handled via a different code path in anddroiddeployqt,
so there's no reason to duplicate the information.
Added documentation for how to opt out of this new behavior.
