Qt minimum required versions increased

Hi all,

I've just made a series of commits that increase the minimum required
versions for both Qt5 and Qt6.

The minimum required version of qt5 is now 5.15.2. This removes a lot
of conditional code for supporting older version of qt. With the
exception of Ubuntu 20.04, any system that could compile v34 can still
compile master. Ubuntu 20.04 isn't one of the officially supported
releases for v34 (they're Ubuntu 22.04/24.04), and also 20.04 will
become end of life shortly after master is released as v35.

The minimum required version of qt6 is now 6.4. All of the changes
here convert a qt function to either 1) another pre-existing Qt
function, or 2) a c++17 standard library function. Any system that
could compile for Qt6 before should still be able to compile for Qt6.

David

Per the development guidelines, the only targets
are Debian "stable", Fedora "current" and "current-1",
and Ubuntu "current" and "LTS" (which does not
technically include 22.04, let alone 20.04, if one
uses the term "LTS" as meaning the latest)

At this point, removing the buildbot worker for 20.04
makes sense to me (as the person "shepherding"
the 20.04 worker, shutting it down would not be
considered a large burden (`shutdown -h now`,
and along with "virsh autostart .... --disable")).
Let me know if you agree, or wish to continue it
for fixes/34 and fixes/33 only (clearly master
no longer applies, and the worker for master
should be removed).
