It looks like this has never worked under QT6, the implementation was inconsistent with the QT5 behaviour. Given that the QT5 behaviour works with the shipped Android app, I've tweaked the QT6 to be functionally equivalent to the QT5 implementations.

@diamnew if you are able to build and test this; that would be a great help.
## Summary
Fix Bluetooth branch build errors for changes in !678
## Test Plan
### Before:
Build errors in bluetoothlinkprovider.cpp due to undefined variable and due to incorrect argument type.
```
/home/simon/src/kdeconnect-kde/core/backends/bluetooth/bluetoothlinkprovider.cpp:301:56: error: cann
ot convert ‘NetworkPacket’ to ‘NetworkPacket*’
301 | if (!success || !DeviceInfo::isValidIdentityPacket(receivedPacket)) {
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
| |
| NetworkPacket
<snip>
```
### After:
Clean build.
Use smaller and safer EC keys, replacing 2048 bit RSA.
NID_X9_62_prime256v1 is roughly as secure as a 3072 bit RSA key, but way shorter.
Since we have to embed the key in the identity packet that is sent over UDP and
some stacks aren't happy with large UDP messages (notably: macos), I switched to
EC instead of to a longer RSA key.
This seems to be compatible with other clients even on older systems like Android 5.0.
I did stick with NID_X9_62_prime256v1 because stronger EC like NID_secp384r1 failed
the handshake (I didn't investigate why).
We now store the kind of key in the config, so we can know which kind of key we are loading.
Now that devices can potentially be connected via both network and bluetooth simultaneously we should prioritise connections over the highest performing link (probably wifi/network). To this end the
m_deviceLinks are now sorted based on priority with the fastest links first; this means that when Device::sendPacket is scheduling to send a packet, it should always use the fastest link first.
The device ID is sanitized to make it safe for D-Bus, so the device ID
stored in the certificate as the subject name also needs to be
sanitized before comparison.
KDNSSD only works with Avahi (so, only on Linux) while mdns.h is a
header-only library [1] that implements mdns from scratch and should
work on all platforms.

We can always provide a function rather than a value.
This is what we do in most places already and is consistent with the
rest of KDE.
This gets compiled to the same code.
```cpp
explicit QLoggingCategoryMacroHolder(const QLoggingCategory &cat)
{
if (IsOutputEnabled)
init(cat);
}
explicit QLoggingCategoryMacroHolder(QMessageLogger::CategoryFunction catfunc)
{
if (IsOutputEnabled)
init(catfunc());
}
```
By commenting out the parameter name, we get compile-time checks
Also, we can omit them for slots and Qt will not forward the parameters.
In case we had TODOs next to the code, I kept the Q_UNUSED statements
for now.
Overriding and defaulting them in the header doesn't make sense
For the dbus interfaces, we don't have any reasources to clean up or memory to be released. Meaning we can drop those lines too
- Using QLatin1String when concatinating strings is faster, because they
are more lightweight. For the resulting string, we need to allocate
new memory anyway
- Use QLatin1String overloads where they are provided by Qt APIs
- Just use const char* for log messages, the quoting of QStrings is not
needed
- Make sure to reuse string results when possible
The rationale is explained in https://planet.kde.org/friedrich-kossebau-2023-06-28-include-also-moc-files-of-headers/
In case of KDEConnect, it impressively speeds up compilation. Before it
took 390 seconds on a clean build and with this change it took 330 seconds.
This is due to the mocs_compilation having to include the header files
and thus all their headers. Due to the lots of small plugins we have,
this means that the same headers must be compiled plenty of times.
When we include the moc files directly in the C++ file, they are already
available.
Change some optional dependencies from being optional to being mandatory
or being mandatory but behind on-by-default cmake flags. Eg: instead of
only compiling Wayland support if we find the appropriate libraries, we
always require the libraries unless the user specifies WITH_WAYLAND=OFF.
Optional libraries are hard to discover by packagers (since they don't
see an error once we add them) and create lots of possible build flavors
with a different features that can confuse users.
In theory we support Qt 5.6 (because of SailfishOS) but in practice we are not checking that in the CI so probably we broke the compatibility long ago. Also, I don't think anyone is using this code in SailfishOS, so we can greatly simplify the code by requiring Qt 5.15 or later.
Instead of always doing so on MacOS, do it only when we get a
DatagramTooLargeError. On MacOS, the size is limited only for
broadcast but not for unicast.
