Document how to use CMake on Qt Core, Qt GUI's central pages
Add documentation on how to use a module from CMake, alongside the existing documentation about qmake. Separate generic info from module-specific examples, to make it possible to use one include file in all modules. While at it, also remove the mentioning of the central include; it is not something we should actively advocate anymore. Instead, the documentation of every class gives the correct include to use. Task-number: QTBUG-73058 Change-Id: I6b3c0e5ea218dd9c06a491c8fb799a7fcf42dd92 Reviewed-by: Leena Miettinen <riitta-leena.miettinen@qt.io>

+ \section1 Using the Module
+
+ Using a Qt module requires linking against the module library, either
+ directly or through other dependencies. Several build tools have dedicated
+ support for this, including \l{CMake Documentation}{CMake} and
+ \l{qmake}.
+
+ \section2 Building with CMake
+
+ Use the \c{find_package()} command to locate the needed module components in
+ the \c{Qt5} package:
