      Description

      Based on work in QTBUG-95169, QTBUG-95018, QTBUG-95601

      and given the plan to require CMake 3.21 for static Qt builds once we've validated that everything works correctly and we don't need the old workarounds anymore, we should remove the object library workarounds we've implemented.

      These would be the target_link_options approach, target_sources approach and the object library finalizer mode.
