Summary0003895: Add support for Qt 6.2+
DescriptionThe upcoming Qt 6.2 appears to include all the components that we need to support Qt 6.

Qt 5 will need to continue to be supported as popular Linux distros have yet to pick up packaging of Qt 6. At this time this means at least until the EOL of Ubuntu 20.04 in 2025, but it seems very likely that Qt 6's support in 22.04 may not be in good shape. It is likely we'd be looking at 2027 at the earliest for dropping Qt 5.

Should be able to compile Doomseeker against Qt 6.2 now.

The core of 0003897 remains an issue and will result in completion suggestions on paths not working.

It appears that the way that we write settings makes migrating from a Qt 6 build back to a Qt 5 build not work. Can't imagine there's a whole lot we can do about that, and should be mostly irrelevant anyway.

At this point though I only assert that Doomseeker compiles and the binary runs. There are probably a number of bugs to be discovered.

Adjusting product version to 1.3.2, as it is the latest stable release affected by this issue (Qt6 isn't supported in 1.3.1 nor 1.3.2).
