Conan: Read status flag from .cmake.conf

The status information (alpha1, beta2, rc3, ...) needs to be part of
the Conan package reference.

As Conan supports semantic versioning the best place to put the status
is to append it to the version string:

qtbase/6.2.0-alpha1@qt/everywhere
qtbase/6.2.0-beta2@qt/everywhere
qtbase/6.2.0-rc3@qt/everywhere
qtbase/6.2.0@qt/everywhere

Other Conan packages declaring a dependency can use e.g. syntax:

  # notice the asterix character after version
  self.requires(f"qtbase/[<=<version>, include_prerelease=True}]@..)

This way the status information is not in the Conan channel part and
downstream consumers of the Conan package does not need to update
the dependency (Conan reference string) every time the version changes.

Put the status information next to Qt version string in .cmake.cache.
