doc: qt_add_qml_module links to qmltc's doc about private headers
Add a note in qt_add_qml_module that qmltc requires private headers in the ENABLE_TYPE_COMPILER section, and link to the part of the documentation of qmltc that explains how to compile QML to C++ using CMake. Fixes: QTBUG-117451 Pick-to: 6.5 6.6 Change-Id: Ie5e6e6c92a10ef4822e5a712bb31e06bdce6bf5e Reviewed-by: Ulf Hermann <ulf.hermann@qt.io>

\section2 Compiling QML to C++ with QML type compiler
+\note The \l{QML type compiler} \c{qmltc} does not guarantee that the generated
+C++ stays API-, source- or binary-compatible between past or future versions,
+even patch versions.
+Furthermore, qmltc-compiled apps using Qt's QML modules will require linking
+against private Qt API, see also
+\l{QML type compiler#compiling-qml-code-with-qmltc}{Compiling QML code with qmltc}.

If a QML module has \c{.qml} files, you can compile them to C++ using \l{QML
type compiler}{qmltc}. Unlike \l{qmlcachegen-auto}{bytecode compilation}, you
have to explicitly enable qmltc via \l{ENABLE_TYPE_COMPILER} argument. In which
