      Make sure that Qt 6 executables that get installed into /usr/bin do not clash with their Qt 5 equivalents.

      Proposal:

      • Instruct distributions to install tools into /usr/qt6/bin, not /usr/bin
      • Create links in /usr/bin that adds a '6' suffix to the tool name, e.g. /usr/bin/qmake6 -> /usr/Qt6/bin/qmake
      • Make sure that the tools documentation mention both names
