ProjectExplorer: Add a locator filter to switch the active project

The run configuration filters ("rr", "dr", "sr") operate on the active
project only, so running a binary of another project still needed the
target selector and a mouse. "sp <project>" now switches the active
project from the keyboard.

Doc: Say which analysis tools open in the Profile mode

QML Profiler, Performance Analyzer, and the Chrome Trace Format
Visualizer construct their perspective with the profiler view; the
others take the default one, which is still Debug.

McpServer: Make a settings page drivable

Two things stood in the way of setting up a kit through the MCP tools.

Typing into a path chooser or a secret field went to the widget that holds
the editor, so the keys were dropped; follow the focus proxy, or a lone line
edit, to what actually takes text.

And set_setting stored the value without applying it, so nothing acted on
it: the HarmonyOS SDK path arrived in the settings, but no toolchain was
looked for and no kit appeared until something else applied the page.

McpServer: Support extended-remote attach in start_debug

Add an "extended_remote" option to start_debug's remote attach so it can
connect with "target extended-remote" (a "gdbserver --multi" server) and
launch the program via run, passing "arguments" to it.

Profiler: Add MCP tools to drive the QML profiler

Add start_profiler, get_profiler_status and stop_profiler so the QML
profiler can be started and observed headlessly over MCP, the way the
debugger already can. start_profiler runs the startup project in the
QML profiler run mode; get_profiler_status reports the state, the
recording flag and a summary of the collected data (event count and
trace duration); stop_profiler stops the running session.

ProjectExplorer: Let run_project take a run_mode

run_project always used the normal run mode. Accept an optional run_mode
id (default RunConfiguration.NormalRunMode) so the same tool can run the
startup project under any registered, non-interactive run mode, such as
an analyzer. Interactive modes keep their dedicated tools (start_debug,
start_profiler).

McpServer: Add a get_message_boxes MCP tool

QMessageBox popups - QMessageBox::warning/question/..., and non-modal
boxes shown via new QMessageBox(...) + show() - never reach the log or
message panes, so a headless MCP client cannot see them. Capture each one
as it is shown, via an application-wide event filter, and expose them
through get_message_boxes (title, text, informative text, icon, buttons,
modal, and whether still open).

Profiler: Add MCP tools to drive the CPU (perf) profiler

Mirror the QML profiler tools for perf: start_perf_profiler,
get_perf_profiler_status and stop_perf_profiler drive and observe the
CPU (perf) profiler headlessly over MCP. start_perf_profiler runs the
startup project in the perf profiler run mode; get_perf_profiler_status
reports the recording flag and the sample count and trace duration;
stop_perf_profiler stops the session. The run-control lookup is
generalized to a runningRunControl(runMode) helper shared by both
profilers.

Docker: Retry the CmdBridge setup after a transient failure

A failed setup cached a fallback file access for the rest of the
session, so a single transient failure made every file operation cost a
container exec until the device settings were touched again.

Retry the setup a few times instead, spaced a few seconds apart - file
operations come in bursts, and back-to-back attempts would all hit the
same transient failure. The retry flag is cleared for the duration of
an attempt, so that the recursive getFileAccess() calls made while
deploying take the cached fallback instead of starting another attempt.

Utils: Ensure correct deinitialization of GlobalWatcher

Silences the warnings regarding stopping timers from another thread.
They only showed up when the notify timer was still armed at teardown,
that is, when a file change arrived within the last 50 ms before
shutdown.

The private object was destroyed on the main thread, after its own
thread had already finished, so its QTimer child was stopped from the
wrong thread. Let the thread's finished() signal delete it instead, the
same way the process reaper does, so that it and its children die where
their timers live.

ProjectExplorer: Let UseDyldSuffixAspect apply itself

The macOS DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX block was copied into every run
configuration offering the option, each spelling the connect
differently - DesktopRunConfiguration named UseLibraryPathsAspect for
the useDyldSuffix aspect, which works only because changed() is
inherited from BaseAspect.

Move it into the aspect, next to the id, settings key and label it
already owns, so a run configuration needs one line and the next one
gets it right by construction.

QtSupport: Load Qt version info without freezing the settings page

Opening the Qt Versions options page called blocking getters
(isValid(), qtAbis(), toHtml()) for every version while painting.
Each routes through QtVersionPrivate::data(), which runs the qmake
query synchronously, so with many remote versions the GUI froze for
a long time on every open.

Render a lightweight placeholder for versions whose information is
not available yet, run the queries in the background, and refresh
each row once its info arrives. The detail panel does the same for
the selected version.

To support this, QtVersion gains a non-blocking
isVersionInfoAvailable(), and data() now remembers a failed query
instead of re-running it on every access. updateVersionInfoNow()
honors that marker too, so a passive refresh cannot restart the
query and re-block. refreshVersionInfo() clears the marker (and the
derived mkspec cache) to retry.

The retry hook lives in QtVersionManager, which listens to
DeviceManager::deviceUpdated and refreshes the authoritative
versions of the changed device. That heals them - ABIs, kit
auto-pairing - independently of whether the options page is open.

Utils: Set up the desktop file path watcher from started()

The private object's setup ran as the first event delivered to the
watcher thread's event loop. Connect it to started() instead, so that it
pairs up with the finished() connection tearing the object down and the
whole lifetime is visible in one place.

The connection has to be made before start(), otherwise started() may
have fired already and the setup never runs.

init() loses its underscore, as there is no cross-thread wrapper left to
tell it apart from.

BinEditor: Report a missing file as missing

fileSize() returns zero for a file it cannot access, just as it does
for an empty one, so the check for a negative size never triggered.
Opening a file that does not exist was reported as "The Binary Editor
cannot open empty files." instead.

That is easy to run into, because a path that does not exist and has no
known suffix has no detectable MIME type, which makes the Binary Editor
the first choice for opening it.
