CMake: Add Linux support to qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies
Before this change, qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies supported Windows and macOS only. We add a generic deployment method implemented in cmake-language with file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES). This deployment method is now enabled for shared builds on Linux. The file(GRD) command requires that the EXECUTABLE argument points to the executable in the build directory. Only libraries in Qt's installation directory are considered for deployment. This includes Qt's own libraries and also things like libicu*.so we're shipping with the installer. Unlike macdeployqt and windeployqt, the generic qt_deploy_runtime_dependencies does not yet support deploying translations. We will catch up on this in a later commit.
