CMake: Don't do plugin initialization for static libraries
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN generates a global static symbol that initializes a
plugin. If this symbol is added to a static library and the library
is then linked to an executable, the linker decides that the symbol is
unused (because nothing references it) and discards it.
This means there's no point to compile the Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN containing
files into static libraries.
Change the generator expression we use for plugin propagation via
associated modules to not compile and link the plugin initialization
object file into a static library.
Pick-to: 6.1
Task-number: QTBUG-80863
