HarmonyOS: Detect connected devices automatically

A device only appeared when it was added by hand from the Devices page.
hdc has no device-tracking stream to listen to, so ask it every few
seconds while an SDK is configured. Devices that went away stay in the
list, so that kits and run configurations keep pointing at them.

HarmonyOS: Judge the package installation by hdc's output

hdc exits successfully even when it installed nothing, so a rejected
package looked like a successful deployment. Say so as well when the
package was not built at all.

DiffEditor: Polish the inline diff collapse

Fix an off-by-one in the baseline mapping guard: the placeholder
anchors on the line after the collapsed run, so the run must end
before the baseline's last line. With the old bound the anchor was
invalid, the QTC_ASSERT in makePlaceholder() fired, and the editor
side collapsed alone.

Skip a run entirely when the baseline placeholder cannot be staged:
hidden blocks report zero height on one side only, the aligner has
nothing to pad with, and the side by side rows drift apart. Both
failure paths in makePlaceholder() return before hiding anything,
so skipping leaves the run cleanly expanded on both sides.

Draw the placeholder text left aligned instead of centered, and let
the autotest find the collapse toggle by object name instead of
"first checkable action", which would silently break with the next
checkable toolbar action.

Also document that the fragment recycling heuristic checks only the
anchor blocks - a deliberately accepted, self-healing window.

HarmonyOS: Find hvigor next to a configured "sdk" directory

hvigor and the bundled Node.js sit beside the "sdk" folder, which a
configured SDK root may well point at directly. The native SDK is found
either way, so the setup looks complete, but harmonydeployqt then gets
no hvigor and quietly skips building the package.

HarmonyOS: Configure package signing in the preferences

Signing material could only come from a project that DevEco Studio had
set up for automatic signing, leaving no way to use material issued for
the developer account by other means.

The passwords go to the keychain through SecretAspect, whose entry needs
an explicit service and key: a settings key without a '.' cannot be
split into the two, and the keychain access then fails.

HarmonyOS: Add the settings the deployment workarounds need

Three knobs for what Qt's HarmonyOS deployment cannot do for itself yet:
the directory holding the third-party libraries Qt needs at run time
(QTBUG-149205), and the permissions to drop from a package because a debug
provisioning profile grants none that need an ACL - a device refuses to
install a package that asks for one. Nothing is dropped by default, and
what goes is named in the build log.

HarmonyOS: Package and sign the application in Qt Creator

Deploying to a device did not work with material issued anywhere but in
DevEco Studio, and not at all for an application that needs more than the
Qt libraries. Rather than wait for harmonydeployqt, do the two steps here:

    make hap    generate the project, nothing else
    package     add the run-time libraries, then run hvigor
    sign        hap-sign-tool, with the configured material
    install     hdc

harmonydeployqt is asked to generate only, since the packaging and signing
it delegates to hvigor are what does not work (QTBUG-149205, QTBUG-149206).
The built package is taken out of the generated project, which the next
generation replaces wholesale.

The signing passwords come from the keychain or, for a build without one,
from the environment.

HarmonyOS: Make a kit from the Qt the installer registers

The Qt online installer registers Qt for HarmonyOS as a Desktop version
(QTCREATORBUG-34793) that reports no ABI at all, because the metadata the
ABI would come from is empty. Nothing then pairs it with a toolchain, so
linking with Qt yields kits for every other target but this one.

Recognize it by its ohos mkspec, and take the ABI from the architecture of
the Qt libraries themselves, which can only be for the one OS.

HarmonyOS: Take the bundle name and the permissions from the profile

A package installs only under the bundle name its provisioning profile is
for, and only if it asks for no permission the profile does not allow - so
both were things to set by hand and get wrong. The profile knows them: it
is a PKCS#7 file whose signed content is plain JSON, which can be read
without touching the signature.

Package under the bundle name from the profile, and drop the permissions
Qt asks for that need an ACL the profile does not grant. Both are reported
in the build log, since neither is what the project asked for.

Remote: Make the Windows device detection test wait for the compilers

The test picked the first of the device's kits, whichever that happened
to be, and an MSVC toolchain fills in its compiler command only after
its vcvars environment capture finishes - later than the kit itself
appears. Configuring with an unresolved one produced an empty
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER, so CMake answered "No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be
found" and the test failed whenever the not-yet-resolved kit came first.
Wait for both compiler commands instead; the MSVC branch checked only
vcvars.bat, which let the empty command through.

Restore the hard check on Qt attachment as well: kit creation now waits
for the tool detection tasks, the Qt search among them, so a kit that
exists has its Qt version, and the check no longer needs to be a
warning.

Debugger: Complete the BridgeEngine views and run control

Registers, memory, disassembly, jump-to-line, run-to-function and
watchpoints all go through native qtc/ requests that drive gdb's Python
API on the bridge side, and the matching capabilities are advertised.

Two of them are not straightforward. Interrupt cannot use DAP 'pause':
the bridge server is synchronous and blocks in gdb.execute() while the
inferior runs, so it never gets to service the request. The gdb process
is signalled instead, as interactive Ctrl-C does, and the resulting
'stopped' event drives the state change. Jump-to-line only sets $pc,
without resuming, which is Qt Creator's semantics, so the engine stays
stopped and refreshes the views in place.

Memory and disassembly reads are correlated back to the requesting agent
via an echoed token.

Debugger: Do not accidently delete agents on fail

Failed requests do not carry token, so toInt() would resolve
to 0 and delete the memory agent and disassembler agent
corresponding to the first memory read or disassembly of
a session.

MarkdownBrowser: Improve scroll wheel zooming

Show indicator when zooming with mouse wheel and keep the scroll
position as much as possible and zoom in 10% steps,
like the text editors and the help viewer.
For that remember the original font size and current scale and add a
setScale method for future use.
Also use the actual scale for the post processing of the text document.
This was wrongly using a scale based on the application font versus the
browser font even though the default font (scale=1) of the browser was
not the application font.

Also add a property that enables/disables the mouse wheel zooming,
which was previously unconditionally done by QTextBrowser.
That implicitly removes the weird individual mouse wheel zooming of
items in the ACP chat view. (To be followed up.)

Core: Trim the heap only where malloc_trim() exists

The periodic trim is there because glibc may hold on to freed memory, but
it was guarded by Q_OS_LINUX. HarmonyOS is a Linux with musl, which has no
malloc_trim(), so the build failed on it. Key on the library instead.
