Pull request description:

  The currently used Qt 5.15 is approaching [EOL](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.15-extended-support-for-subscription-license-holders) and will reach it before the Bitcoin Core v30 release. The recent migration of the build system to CMake makes it possible to switch to Qt 6.

  This PR updates the OS runtime compatibility requirements for the Bitcoin Core GUI as follows:

  ### 1. Linux

  Starting with Qt 6.5.0, the `libxcb-cursor0` package is required to be installed at runtime.

  ### 2. Windows

  Cross-compiling does not support LTO. We have to re-add it in a follow-up.

  A new style plugin causes minor visual glitches, such as
  ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e06f8685-aa79-49e7-9e61-4d54563f6d04)
  which will be fixed in follow-ups.

  ### 3. macOS

  `bitcoin-qt` now uses the [Metal](https://developer.apple.com/metal/) backend.

  UPD 2024-10-09. Qt 6.8 has been [released](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.8-released), but it has some [drawbacks](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30997#issuecomment-2402990346) for us. As a result, this PR will stick to Qt 6.7.

  UPD 2025-03-18: [Standard support for Qt 5.15 will end after 26th of May 2025](https://www.qt.io/blog/extended-security-maintenance-for-qt-5.15-begins-may-2025)

Repository Tools

Developer tools

Specific tools for developers working on this repository. Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.

Verify-Commits

Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.

Linearize

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.

Qos

A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.

Seeds

Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.

Build Tools and Keys

Packaging

The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.

All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.

MacDeploy

Scripts and notes for Mac builds.

Test and Verify Tools

TestGen

Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.

Verify-Binaries

This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.

Command Line Tools

Completions

Shell completions for bash and fish.

UTXO Set Tools

UTXO-to-SQLite

This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset) to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
