Qnx: Show application output when running, not only when debugging

On QNX, qDebug()/console.log() output goes to the slog2 system log. The
Debug and QML Profiler workers already capture it via slog2InfoRecipe,
but the plain run worker was a bare ProcessRunnerFactory, so running an
application (Ctrl+R) produced no output while debugging it (F5) did.

Give the run worker the same recipe: run the process in parallel with
slog2InfoRecipe, so slog2 output reaches the Application Output.

CmdBridge: Port Go implementation to C11

With `zig cc` the code can be cross-compiled to all platforms like the
Go version.

In order to use this you have to set `BUILD_CMDBRIDGE_C=ON`, and to
cross-compile all targets set `CMDBRIDGE_USE_ZIG=ON` in the CMake
configuration of Qt Creator.

The wire format follows what the client actually reads. Every packet
carries exactly one CBOR value, because Client::readPacket() decodes one
and ignores whatever follows it. Arrays are encodable, which the
environment reply needs. A command split across several reads is held
until it is complete rather than resynchronised away, so writefile is
not limited to what fits in one read. Options are accepted in the
spelling the client uses ("-watchdogTimeout 60"), which also means the
watchdog is armed by default as it is in Go.

Commands run on a worker pool that grows on demand, so a handful of
long-running exec or find calls cannot starve the cancel that would end
them. Nothing is bounded by a compile-time constant: the command queue,
the cancellation registry, the process and watcher tables and the socket
forwarding maps all grow as needed.

Temporary names are generated from the platform CSPRNG and created
exclusively, rather than through mkstemp() or GetTempFileNameW(). musl's
mkstemp() leaves the last two of its six characters effectively constant
within a process, and GetTempFileNameW() truncates the prefix to three
characters and reuses a deleted name.

The two implementations live in go/ and c/, with the CMakeLists.txt in
server/ selecting between them. Within the C one, platform specific code
lives in one file per platform, included by the module that owns it, so
the handlers themselves are free of #ifdef.

Values the client parses are reported the way it reads them. "Mode" is a
Go io/fs.FileMode, not a POSIX st_mode: the client takes the file type
from Go's high bits, so a raw st_mode made every directory look like a
plain file, which listed folders as files and opened them instead of
descending. A non-recursive find reports its subdirectories and only
declines to walk them, as filepath.SkipDir does. Entry paths are joined
with a single separator, since a leading "//" is read as a
host-qualified path and leaves the entry with no path at all.

cmdbridge_py_test.py exercises the protocol through a reader that
mirrors Client::readPacket(), including cases that used to be capped or
dropped. cmdbridge_fuzz.c includes cbor.c instead of carrying its own
copy of the decoder, and its structural self-tests run as a test.

Qnx: Cross-compile CMake projects with the QNX toolchain

An auto-detected QNX kit did not configure CMake for cross-compilation,
so CMake fell back to the host cc/g++ and the QNX headers were not found.

Let a toolchain contribute a CMake toolchain file via a new
Toolchain::cmakeToolchainFile() hook. QnxToolchain returns the SDP's
qnx-toolchain-<arch>.cmake, which sets CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=QNX, the qcc
target and CMAKE_SYSROOT. The initial CMake configuration passes it as
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE for a non-desktop kit that has no Qt version (the
Qt case is already covered by qt.toolchain.cmake), mirroring how the
Android toolchain file is added; the kit keeps its compilers.

The toolchain file invokes the compiler by name, so also put qcc's
directory on PATH in QnxToolchain::addToEnvironment().

FakeVim: Make Vim's editorconfig plugin work

Vim 9.1's own editorconfig plugin runs unchanged now: a stock plugin and
a .editorconfig give the same 'tabstop', 'shiftwidth', 'expandtab' and
'textwidth' Vim gives. Each gap was found by running the plugin and
looking at what it did, not by reading it.

It needed the name of every Vim option, so that "exists('+ssl') &&
!&ssl" stops aborting the line it stands in; the "\_x" patterns; a split
on a separator that matches nothing; ":messages", because only one
message fits the mini buffer and the rest of what a script says was
lost; ":lockvar"; a "\=" read literally where very magic gives "=" a
meaning; and an error that reaches the ":try" wrapped around it, which
is how a plugin asks whether what it did worked.

FakeVim: Read more patterns, and write ":set" values as Vim does

A character named by its number ("\%d98"), a sequence of optional
characters ("a\%[bc]"), the look-around patterns ("\@=" and its kin) and
the places a pattern may match ("\%23l", "\%V").

On the option side: a backslash in a ":set" value takes the next
character literally, which is how every ftplugin writes 'commentstring';
"+=" joins with a comma for a list option and side by side for a flag-
style one; 'cpoptions' was reachable under a name Vim does not know; and
"sm" belongs to Vim's 'showmatch'.

v:throwpoint and "<stack>" now name the statement each frame is at,
which is what a plugin cuts its own function name out of.

FakeVim: Make Vim's matchit plugin work

Vim 9.1's matchit plugin runs unchanged: "%" walks the words of a pair
round and "g%" walks them the other way, matching Vim over the same
lines.

Along the way, three things that were wrong on their own account: a
search that wrapped did not come back to the word under the cursor, a
walk over the positions of a pattern did not stop at the end of the
buffer and hung, and an expression looked at what an "&&" had already
passed over.

Added for the plugin: searchpair() and searchpairpos(), mode(), the
shortened spellings of the block commands, CTRL-U on the command line, a
"<Cmd>" that keys come before, several options in one ":set",
'softtabstop', and a look-behind that says how far back to look.

FakeVim: Make Vim's justify plugin work

Vim's own justify plugin runs unchanged and lays out a paragraph the way
Vim lays it out.

It wanted a function handed the whole range at once when it asks for one
- without "range" Vim calls the function once per line, which is what a
plugin counts on - ":retab", strdisplaywidth(), strwidth(), getline()
over several lines, and the questions a plugin asks about registers and
mappings.

FakeVim: Make ReplaceWithRegister work

Ingo Karkat's plugin, the one behind the "gr" emulation, runs unchanged:
the operator, the line and the visual mapping all replace what Vim
replaces, with a named register and with a count.

The engine gaps were elsewhere: a motion to a mark started a new
selection in Visual mode instead of reaching over what lies between; a
List or a Dictionary compared equal to any other, since both went
through toNumber(); 'ignorecase' had no say in what "==" does;
v:register did not exist, so the plugin was left with no register at
all; a comment behind a ":set" looked like more options; and a linewise
selection was replaced by charwise text.

Also: a mapping can reach a function of its own script, an operator
takes what a ":" command selects, the unnamed register answers to "@@",
and a character named by number or key is read inside a string.

FakeVim: Make vim-exchange work

Tom McDonald's plugin, the one behind the "cx" emulation, runs
unchanged: words, lines and visual regions swap where Vim swaps them,
and the indent stays where it was.

What it needed: "<SID>" and "<SNR>42_" read as names that can be called,
because a plugin points 'operatorfunc' at its own function that way; "_"
made the linewise motion it is, so that "g@_" hands an operator a line;
line(), col() and virtcol() taking a "[lnum, col]" list; a linewise yank
of the last line without the break in front of it, which also answers
for ":w", ":!" and ":g" over such a range; and nextnonblank() with
prevnonblank().

Pasting whole lines into a charwise selection breaks the line open, as
Vim does it.

FakeVim: Add ":put", getchar() and more of what a plugin asks for

":put" was not there at all: it puts what a register or an expression
holds as whole lines, which is how a script writes lines without
touching a register. A line address of 0 is not representable in a range
here, so ":0put" puts after the first line; ":1put!" does what it means.

getchar() and getcharstr() hand out the keys already typed ahead - what
is left of a mapping being expanded, or of a register being run. Waiting
for a key that has not been typed is another matter: the engine cannot
suspend a running script, so the form without an argument answers like
getchar(0).

Also: eval(), ":let [a, b; rest] = list", ":set inv{option}", CTRL-R =
in a command line, "\<Left>" read as the key it names, and a carriage
return taken for the Return key - a register a script fills with
":s/a/b/\r" left the command standing on the command line before.

FakeVim: Make vim-unimpaired work

tpope's plugin, the one behind the "[q"/"]q" emulation, runs unchanged
as far as it does not want a window, a buffer list or a quickfix list: a
blank line above or below, exchanging a line with its neighbour, turning
an option on, off or around, and the transform operators for XML, URL
and string escaping, over a motion and over a line.

The count typed in front of a mapping reaches v:count inside it now; a
mapping to a ":" command is expanded after the pending count has been
taken, so "2[<Space>" made one blank line. A script-local function is
named "<SNR>42_Name" in the frame chain, which is where the plugin reads
the prefix it builds 'operatorfunc' from. A name may hold "{expr}", tr()
is there, and a string is read as a number the way str2nr() does,
without which nr2char('0x26') gave nothing.

maparg() takes the keys written in "<>" notation as well as typed out; a
plugin asks that way before putting a mapping of its own in, and was
told the user has none.

CmdBridge: Add FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD targets

Both implementations now build for the three BSDs on amd64 and arm64,
which brings each of them to 13 binaries.

Only free space differs per system, so it moved into its own files. Go
needs a cast on FreeBSD, where Statfs_t's fields are signed; OpenBSD
keeps the C prefix on their names; and NetBSD has no statfs() at all,
only the POSIX statvfs(), whose Bavail counts Frsize units rather than
Bsize ones. The C implementation needs the same statvfs() on NetBSD and
compiles unchanged everywhere else.

The C targets need zig 0.16 or newer, since earlier versions ship no BSD
libc. Rather than fail the build there, they are skipped: a missing
binary is not fatal, because the client falls back to its slow file
access when it cannot find or start one.

The client could not have asked for those binaries. "uname -s" prints
FreeBSD, OpenBSD or NetBSD, none of which osTypeFromString() knew, so
such a device gave up before the bridge was ever looked up and quietly
took that slow path. They get one OsType each rather than a shared one,
because the binaries are named after GOOS and are not interchangeable,
and because CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_NAME spells them out. The checks for
whether an OS is unix-like now count them, so these devices keep the
behaviour they had back when they were just another "other unix".

The server also raises RLIMIT_NOFILE to the hard limit, as the Go
runtime has done since Go 1.19. This is not BSD specific, but OpenBSD is
where it showed: the kqueue watcher spends a descriptor per watched
path, and the default login class allows 128 against a hard limit of
1024, which capped a device at 124 watches.

test_freespace checks the value against what the OS reports instead of
only that a reply arrived, since picking the wrong block size still
yields a plausible-looking number. That needed 8-byte integers in the
test's CBOR reader, without which the free space of any modern disk was
invisible to it.

HostOsInfo::hostOs() still reports OsTypeOtherUnix when Qt Creator
itself runs on a BSD. Nothing there needs the distinction, and it is the
one part of this that cannot be tested from another host.

Abi::abiOsToOsType() likewise keeps mapping BsdOS to OsTypeOtherUnix: it
only receives the OS, not the flavor, so it cannot tell the BSDs apart.

The protocol test suite passes on FreeBSD 15.1, OpenBSD 7.9 and NetBSD
11.0, all amd64.

effect of a display format. Back it with a small WatchHandler::setFormat
accessor.

ProjectExplorer: Explain why a remote run has no executable

A run configuration for a device that differs from the build device
derives its executable from the deployment data. When nothing maps the
built target to a remote path (e.g. a CMake project without install()
rules), the remote executable comes out empty, and the run then fails
with an unhelpful error instead of pointing at the missing deployment.

Report an actionable issue in that case from the base
RunConfiguration::checkForIssues(), with build-system-specific advice
supplied by a new BuildSystem::deploymentHint() (CMake/qmake/qbs).
