CMake: Promote all targets to global within a scope when possible
CMake 3.21 introduced a new IMPORTED_TARGETS directory property which
we can use to promote all imported targets within a scope to be
global.
This would cover transitive non-Qt imported targets which the Qt build
system does not know about and is thus a more complete solution
compared to promoting only Qt targets.
Run a finalizer at the end of the directory scope where
find_package(Qt6) is called to promote all imported targets within
that scope to global (when requested).
The old promotion method is disabled when the CMake version is new
enough.
Pick-to: 6.2
