CMake: Build minimal subset of tests in desktop static builds

Add new configure option -make minimal-static-tests and CMake option
QT_BUILD_MINIMAL_STATIC_TESTS. In conjunction with QT_BUILD_TESTS
it will enable building a minimal subset of tests when targeting
a static desktop Qt build.

In qtbase the minimal subset includes all the auto tests of testlib,
tools, corelib and cmake. In particular this will also do cmake build
tests and qmake build tests (tst_qmake)

Adjust CI instructions to enable building a minimal subset of static
tests when a platform configuration is tagged with the
MinimalStaticTests feature.

Fix and skip a few tests that were failing.

Pick-to: 6.1
Task-number: QTBUG-87580
Task-number: QTBUG-91869
