Add experimental support for Qt6

Alexander Neumann requested to merge Neumann-A/paraview:update_for_qt6 into master

Experimental support for Qt6 has been added to ParaView. ParaView will find both Qt5 and Qt6 on your system and you can select the version to use using VTK_QT_VERSION cmake option.

====

Initial developer notes:

Since it was requested in https://discourse.paraview.org/t/start-supporting-qt6/11239 (Side note: There are no patches needed to treat WSL; I don't know why there was a discussion about that.)

These are the changes from https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/29078. That said vcpkg does not build all parts of paraview so there is probably more to do. (would be interesting to know how a default release build of paraview would be configured, i currently assume that CMake as the corresponding defaults set.) Somebody from your side has to take over and make it overall mergeable with paraview so feel free to make modifications as you want.

Probably also needs qttesting!53 (closed) for qttesting. (at least i also integrated that into vcpkg)
