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)
