QtSupport: Fix device Qt mkspec evaluation for Windows devices

createQtVersionFromQMakePath evaluated the mkspec without setting the
proparser device root, so a remote Windows device's absolute paths
(C:\...) were resolved with host semantics and doubled up onto the
feature dir. Set device_root as updateMkspec() does, and teach the
proparser's isRelativePath() to recognize drive-letter/UNC paths as
absolute for non-local devices.

QtSupport: Don't query qmake on a disconnected device

QtVersionPrivate::data() launches the qmake query and then immediately
waits for it, so it is effectively synchronous. As it is called from
many property getters on the GUI thread (isValid(), qtAbis(), mkspec,
...), a remote qmake on an unreachable device froze the UI for the full
process timeout - repeatedly, since failures are intentionally not
cached.

Skip the query while the qmake's device is known to be disconnected,
mirroring the guard in IDevice::getUnixEnvironment(), and return the
read-only placeholder instead of blocking. m_data is left unset, so the
query is retried once the device is reachable again.

Editors: Guard SaveItemsDialog against externally closed documents

The SaveItemsDialog runs an event loop but caches the IDocuments that
were requested to save. It could happen that some of these are closed &
deleted during the event loop running, so keep a list of QPointers of
the documents, and check if they still exist before attempting to close
them.

Noticed via Sentry report.

Pdb: Report breakpoint hit counts

pdb's own Breakpoint.hits already tracks this internally
(self.currentbp, set in break_here()) - report it once per real
stop. Reset right after use so a later, unrelated stop (e.g. a
step) doesn't re-report a stale count, and skip when the
breakpoint object is already gone (a one-shot tbreak deletes
itself the instant it fires).

Safe for real PdbEngine too: its own line dispatch has no final
else, so the new, currently-unhandled "breakpointmodified="
line is just ignored there.

LldbEngine: Fix watch expression on a global variable

WatchpointAtExpression used frame.FindVariable(), which only
searches the current frame's own locals/args, never globals or
statics - its own comment already said "Top level-only for
now". Confirmed live: for a module-level global, this silently
resolves to an invalid value, so the resulting watch address is
garbage and the watchpoint never actually triggers.

frame.EvaluateExpression() resolves both, matching GdbEngine's
own "watch <expr>" scope. Same bug, same fix needed, for
LldbImpl - it calls this exact same insertBreakpoint() path.

Remote: Run an executable on the Windows device

Enable the run worker and run configuration for the native Windows
device: register GenericWindowsOsType on RemoteLinuxRunWorkerFactory
and the run-config factory. Reuse RemoteLinuxRunConfiguration but hide
the Unix-only options (X11, VNC, run-as, remote terminal) for a Windows
run device; the runtime library search path stays handled OS-aware via
useLibraryPath (PATH on Windows).

The integration test now also runs the freshly built executable on the
device and checks its exit code and captured stdout.

RemoteLinuxRunWorkerFactory is a misnomer now, I will drop the 'Linux'
in a follow-up change.

LldbEngine: Report output for Execute Debugger Command

executeDebuggerCommand() sent the command to lldbbridge.py's
runDebuggerCommand(), whose own report() carries no token - so its
success/output/error reply could never be correlated back to the
command that triggered it, and was silently dropped. The command ran
correctly, but its result never reached the user.

Now runs the command directly via HandleCommand() and reports via
reportResult(), the same token-carrying reply setRegister() already
uses - and reads it back via a real callback.

Remote: Don't expose file access for an unreachable Windows device

setupFileAccess() set the per-command (slow, one-SSH-per-op)
WindowsDeviceAccess as the device's file access synchronously, before
probing. An unreachable device then looked connected, so startup
validation (toolchains, Qt, kits) ran file operations against it and hung
on repeated 10s SSH timeouts - making startup very slow whenever a
configured device was down (e.g. after auto-connect on startup).

Set the public file access only after the async probe/deploy has finished
(in the continuation); a down device now stays without access and is
skipped quickly. deployCmdBridge() queries the device environment through
a throwaway local WindowsDeviceAccess instead of the device's own.

Remote: Auto-connect the Windows device on startup

Like LinuxDevice, connect the device in postLoad() so it has file
access from the start. Without this the device has no file access until
its settings page is opened, so hasFileAccess() is false and the device
is filtered out of the device-aware file dialog (Open File or Project)
and anywhere else that lists browsable devices.

Controlled by an "Auto-connect on startup" option (on by default), also
in the device settings, that switches itself off after a failed
connection - mirroring LinuxDevice.

ProjectExplorer: Don't mix host and device paths in the MSVC env

prependPathEnvironmentVariable() carried PATH entries from the previous
environment into the result. For a remote (device) MSVC toolchain the
result is the device's Windows environment while the previous one may be
the local host environment, so host paths were prepended there - both
tripping the Environment osType check and corrupting PATH. Only carry
over paths whose osType matches the result environment.

Debugger: Make the abort-debugging force-kill discoverable

Activating "Abort Debugging" once shuts the debugger down gracefully;
activating it again kills harder. That escalation was only visible in
the debugger log, so there was no hint that a second activation would
forcefully terminate a debugger that is slow or stuck shutting down.

On the first, friendly abort, show a status-bar message and rename the
action to "Abort Debugging (Force Kill)" with a matching tooltip, so
the stronger second step is discoverable.

RemoteLinux: Don't soft-assert when signaling a pid-less process

SshProcessInterface::handleSendControlSignal() soft-asserted on a zero
pid. But a device process that is canceled while its ssh connection is
still being established never obtains a remote pid, and the cancel path
sends it a control signal - so a canceled/unreachable-host probe spewed
repeated soft-asserts. There is nothing to signal in that case; return
quietly instead. Behavior is otherwise unchanged (it already returned).

Devices: Add a common IDevice::isUp()

Several call sites decide whether a device is usable by comparing
deviceState() directly, and they disagreed:
LinuxDevice::isDisconnected() treated both DeviceDisconnected and
DeviceStateUnknown as not-usable, while the qmake query guard and
IDevice::getUnixEnvironment() only checked DeviceDisconnected -- so a
device in the unknown state could still trigger a blocking, doomed
query.

Add IDevice::isUp() (true only for DeviceReadyToUse or
DeviceConnected) as the single source of truth, route qmakeQueryable()
and getUnixEnvironment() through it, and drop the now-redundant
LinuxDevice override.

getUnixEnvironment() now also skips a device in the unknown state,
matching the intent of not querying a device that is not known to be
reachable.

RemoteLinux: Finish a canceled ssh process stuck connecting

When a device process is canceled while the shared ssh master is
still connecting (e.g. to an unreachable host), the interface kept
waiting and the process never reached NotRunning. A subsequent
restart then soft-asserted on "state() == NotRunning", and for a
direct (unshared) connection the stuck local ssh client was never
killed either.

Abort the connect wait and report done when canceled mid-connect,
and, when there is no remote pid, terminate/kill the local ssh
client instead of doing nothing.

Debugger: Allow CDB for a remote Windows device

Relax the CdbEngineType gate that required a Windows host: CDB drives
cdb.exe as a subprocess and only parses its text output, so it also
works with cdb.exe running on a remote Windows device, with its stdio
piped over SSH.

Add DebuggerRunParameters::cdbExtensionPath() to carry the device
directory of the CDB helper extension, keeping the debugger core
