CMake: Set the plugin class name for qml plugins

This is needed for a change in qtdeclarative to allow building the
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN-containing object library initializer of a qml plugin.

Show an error if the qml plugin has no class name, it's needed for
plugin initialization so it's mandatory to have a class name.

Show an error if a class name is not found when computing the import
macro for a plugin (both for a regular qt plugin and a qml plugin).

When querying for the class name of a target, query both a Qt6::
prefixed target as well as a non-prefixed one, with the Qt one
taking precedence.
This is to allow querying the class name of user project created qml
plugins.

Currently regular qt user plugins don't use the object library
initializer approach. This will likely be revisited in the future.

Pick-to: 6.2
Task-number: QTBUG-92933
