Lower the CMake minimum required version for single-config builds
Ubuntu 20.04 is a supported platform and comes with CMake 3.16. The
current state of the Qt build works fine with this CMake version, mainly
because the default build on Linux is single-config.
For multi-config builds we have higher version requirements as
documented in cmake/README.md.
This lowers the barrier for users using single-config builds who don't
want or cannot upgrade to CMake >= 3.18.
For Ninja Multi-Config builds, which were introduced by CMake 3.17, we
yield a warning that 3.18.3 is the lowest supported version.
Pick-to: 6.0
