CMake presets: Missing overview over available vendor properties

    Description

      https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-build-settings-cmake-presets.html uses some vendor properties in examples of how a CMake preset may look like, but there is no page or section that explicitly lists all available vendor properties like there is for Visual Studio

      Because the examples in the Qt Creator documentation linked above show how to specify a debugger for the generated kit through vendor properties I assumed you could do the same for the compiler and Qt version. After spending way too much time combing through the documentation without any success I'm now fairly certain that it isn't possible (why, though?), but all of that wasted time could've been avoided if there was a definitive list of all available vendor properties somewhere in the documentation.
