Description

Since Qt6 was released recently, it would be a good to support that. The existing Qt5 generator uses some deprecated functions that are not supported in Qt6. I replaced them with the equivalent Qt6 functions. The new functions work with Qt5 aswell, except of the Qt::SectionSkipEmpty Flag ( equal to 0x01) that was in the QString namespace in Qt5. I inserted a preprocessor variable to support both, Qt5 and Qt6:

#if QT_VERSION >= 0x060000
    #define SKIP_EMPTY_PARTS Qt::SkipEmptyParts
#else
    #define SKIP_EMPTY_PARTS QString::SkipEmptyParts
#endif

I created a PR with those changes. Since the generator is called cpp-qt5-generator it would make sense to add a new Qt6 generator or rename it.

Research direction

Start by locating the cpp-qt5-generator implementation and its Qt-dependent functions. Review the proposed preprocessor distinction between Qt5 and Qt6, then determine whether the generator should be renamed or a separate Qt6 generator added. Done means the generator supports the intended Qt versions without deprecated functions and the naming decision is reflected consistently.
