CMake: Allow omitting the version of QML modules
Also, drop all the VERSION 1.0 lines from the examples and tests. 1.0 is actually a bad default version since it's before all the Qt versions. [ChangeLog][QML] You can now omit the VERSION argument to qt_add_qml_module(). This will automatically generate the highest possible version. Pick-to: 6.5 Task-number: QTBUG-99146 Change-Id: Ic10ec69b87c224e0e94e1785f65653815d4c778c Reviewed-by: Alexandru Croitor <alexandru.croitor@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Alexey Edelev <alexey.edelev@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Fabian Kosmale <fabian.kosmale@qt.io> Reviewed-by: Sami Shalayel <sami.shalayel@qt.io>
