Debugger: Extend start_debug to debug a given executable

Give the start_debug MCP tool optional executable, kit, arguments,
working directory and qml_debugging parameters. With no executable it
debugs the current startup project as before; when an executable is
given, debug it directly through a RunControl with debugger run
parameters (StartExternal) - no project or build needed. qml_debugging
plus QTC_DEBUGGER_NATIVE_MIXED activates native combined C++/QML
debugging.

ProjectExplorer: Make kit items configurable over MCP

Add a candidateValues() hook to KitAspectFactory so item-backed aspects
(debugger, toolchain, Qt version, device, ...) can advertise their valid
values, and implement it for the debugger aspect.

Expose three generic MCP tools: get_kit_aspects lists a kit's aspects
with their current values, get_kit_aspect_options enumerates an aspect's
valid values, and set_kit_value sets one - matching an enumerated
candidate so the stored value type (e.g. a debugger item id) is
preserved.

CmdBridge: Allow building the HarmonyOS server binary

HarmonyOS refuses to execute an ELF that carries no .codesign section,
and only the OpenHarmony SDK's own lld can write one (--code-sign), so
zig cc, which cross-compiles the other platforms, cannot be used here.

Add an opt-in target that builds cmdbridge-ohos-arm64 from an SDK given
as CMDBRIDGE_OHOS_SDK. Fail at configure time when that lld does not know
the flag: the binary would still build, but would fail to start on the
device with a bare EACCES.

Nothing looks the binary up yet, since Client::getCmdBridgePath() maps
OsTypeOtherUnix, which HarmonyOS devices use, to "linux". Choosing it
belongs with the device side that will need it.

Utils: Add asynchronous getOpenFilePath

Add FileUtils::getOpenFilePathAsync() returning a QFuture<FilePath>
that resolves once the user chooses a file (or an empty path on
cancel). It shows the dialog without a nested event loop, which is
required on platforms where blocking the calling thread in
QDialog::exec() is not allowed, e.g. Qt for WebAssembly without
asyncify.

The dialog is window-modal, and the non-native cases (no native
dialog available, a non-local directory, or DontUseNativeDialog)
take the same Utils::FileDialog route as the blocking variant.

The future always carries exactly one result: a dialog destroyed
along with its parent resolves it with an empty path, just like a
cancel, so callers can consume it with a plain
.then([](const FilePath &)).

On WebAssembly the file content is materialized into the in-memory
filesystem (via QFileDialog::getOpenFileContent) and the future
resolves with that temporary copy, so callers can keep reading the
result by path from any thread.

expose it, so a builder-style onTextChanged handler was silently
dropped. Connect it to FancyLineEdit::textChanged.

Codify what keeps the autotests deterministic: no wall-clock waits, how
to bound an assertion about something *not* happening, no raising a
shared timeout to hide flakiness, and proving a new test can fail.

ProjectExplorer: Don't assert when a tool check filters a candidate

DeviceToolAspectFactory::check() is used as a predicate to filter the
tool candidates found on a device. A failed result is a normal outcome:
it means the candidate does not apply, e.g. the QNX qnxsdp-env factory
registers both .sh and .bat patterns and rejects the suffix that does
not match the device OS. Wrapping check() in QTC_ASSERT_RESULT turned
each such rejection into a soft assert ("File suffix does not match OS
type") during QNX device tool detection. Use the result as the
predicate and filter the candidate out silently instead.

Debugger: Keep a value display format tied to the item's type

A per-item display format chosen in the Locals view was stored keyed
only by the item's internal name and reapplied to any later item with
the same name, including one of an unrelated type in a different scope.
A hexadecimal format set on an "int foo" thus turned a "struct Foo foo"
one step later into "0", and the stale format also persisted across
runs.

Record the type a format was chosen for and honor the stored format
only while the item still has that type, both in the frontend
(itemFormat) and in the dumper (currentItemFormat). Individual formats
stored by earlier versions carry no type, so there is no way to tell
whether they still apply; drop them when loading the session instead of
letting them keep misfiring. Transient formats are not affected.

Profiler: Port perfdatareader to Utils::Process

Replace the raw QProcess member with a Utils::Process. Utils::Process
is not a QIODevice, so the parser's stdout is bridged through a small
sequential QIODevice (ProcessOutputBuffer) that the
PerfProfilerTraceFile streaming reader consumes. Keeping it sequential
preserves the reader's incremental progress reporting; a random-access
buffer would derive progress from pos()/size(), which is meaningless
for a stream we grow and drain in place.

The lifecycle is driven via the done()/started()/readyRead*() signals,
and the process-mode check replaces isWritable(). On a failed start we
now report only the failure instead of also emitting finished(), which
would finalize a trace that was never initialized.

The disk-spill back-pressure is retained: perfparser's stdin can lag
behind the incoming data, so we keep spilling to temporary files and
drain them as it catches up. Utils::Process cannot report its write
queue depth, so the parser's own output serves as the progress signal.
It pumps the drain in place of QIODevice::bytesWritten(), and the
bytes written since the last output replace bytesToWrite() as the
spill threshold: perfparser emits trace data as it consumes its
stdin, so a count that keeps growing without anything coming back
means it stalled and what we wrote since is still queued. The
recording timer stays on as a heartbeat for a backlog that was
spilled while the parser was idle.

This also lets perfdatareader compile where QProcess is unavailable
(Qt for WebAssembly).

Utils: Guard desktop-only code paths for WebAssembly

Several dependencies have no WebAssembly backend. Skip libptyqt and
libarchive on Emscripten, provide a stub INTERFACE target for the
latter so its dependents keep resolving their link deps, make
unarchiver return errors there (libarchive uses POSIX disk-walking
APIs), and skip the execinfo.h backtrace in qtcassert (Emscripten
defines Q_OS_UNIX but ships no execinfo.h).

Whether libarchive is there is a build system property rather than a
compiler one, so unarchiver keys off QTC_UTILS_WITH_LIBARCHIVE, set by
CMake where the dependency is declared and unconditionally in the qbs
build, which always has libarchive.

QtProfiler: Add a WebAssembly build

Add a qtprofiler-wasm CMake preset that cross-compiles the standalone
qtprofiler for Qt for WebAssembly: it uses the wasm Qt toolchain,
builds statically (QTC_STATIC_BUILD) with only the Profiler plugin
dependency closure, and restricts the build to the qtprofiler
executable.

Invoke Qt's wasm executable finalizer for qtprofiler
(add_qtc_executable does not), so the .html shell, qtloader.js and the
required MODULARIZE/EXPORT_NAME/embind/memory link options are
generated. Initialize the statically-linked Utils resources
explicitly, and open trace files via the asynchronous
getOpenFilePath()/AsynchronousMessageBox so the UI never blocks the
main thread.

QtProfiler: Make the WebAssembly build setup portable

The qtprofiler-wasm preset encoded one machine's layout: an absolute
macOS Qt path, a 6.11.1 version pin and $env{HOME}/emsdk. The preset is
not hidden, so it shows up in every developer's preset list in Qt
Creator and configures for nobody but its author. Take the two Qt paths
from QT_WASM_ROOT and QT_HOST_PATH and let the activated emsdk provide
EMSDK, so only the cache-variable set stays committed, and name the
expected variables in the preset description.

Call the public qt_finalize_target() rather than the private
_qt_internal_finalize_wasm_app(). It runs the same WebAssembly
finalizer plus the resource and plugin-import finalization, and cannot
silently do nothing if a future Qt renames the private helper. The
macOS and Windows finalizers it also carries are guarded by APPLE and
WIN32 and so are unreachable from the Emscripten branch.

Also say in the resource-init comment what really decides the
Q_INIT_RESOURCE call - the static build, which has no C++ define and is
approximated here by __EMSCRIPTEN__.
