    Description

      Once QTBUG-90820 and QTBUG-96232 are fixed (use ExternalProjects for examples in CI), and all examples are built using qt_internal_add_example() API calls,
      we should remove all usages of INSTALL_EXAMPLESDIR and INSTALL_EXAMPLEDIR in examples.

      Those were only added to ensure examples are installed under an example-relative directory, rather than $qt_prefix/bin.
