Description
There are two issues when running cmake --install $builddir:
- The application binary isn't installed.
- When Slint is built via FetchContent, Slint is installed with headers, slint-compiler, etc. instead.
Expected outcome:
- The application binary is installed
2.libslint_cpp.sois installed next to it. Perhaps this could be done using CMake's runtime dependency support.

Research direction
Start by reproducing cmake --install $builddir in the C++ template, then inspect its CMake install rules and FetchContent setup. Done means the application binary and libslint_cpp.so are installed together, while Slint headers and compiler artifacts are not installed unintentionally.
