Preparing for Qt6

[luzpaz]

Even though v0.20 will still support min version of Qt 5.9 I just wanted to put on the radar that the team is discussing support for Qt6, FWIW

the linked page about desktop-qt5 says this one is supposed to be it's replacement: https://snapcraft.io/docs/qt5-kde-applications probably once KDE 6 is out they will have support for qt6, on the freecad side there's no rush IMO, still a long way to go before it's even an option even more until it becomes a requirement.

Oh yeah. We're already using the kde-neon extension and are quite happy with it. I just wanted to illustrate that there is discussion going on upstream. Maybe there will be a separate extension for Qt6 on core22; we could use that for test builds.
