Adapts the docs and different mentions of the repo from status-desktop to status-app
Also adapts the docs to talk about the Status App and not just Status Dekstop. Adds links to the Mobile build too.
- Creating new targets to build, run and clean mobile builds
- Updating the builds to support qt 6.9.0 (and NDK 27.2.12479018)
- Move the GH actions to the main gh folder
- Update the main Makefile to allow cross-compilation. `detected_os` becomes `mkspecs`
Considerations
- Use versioned files. Versioned Qt CMake APIs are disabled to force explicit calls and say that we don't support older `QT`s
- Don't use blobbing. Use `target_sources` and `qt_target_qml_sources`
- Distribute `CMake` definitions closer to the context: main folders with their own `CMakeLists.txt`
- Everything in libraries under `Status` namespace for cleaner code.
- Includes are exposed with Module folder externally and without prefix internally
- File/Folders name matches definitions they contain for uniformity that leads to cleaner code
- All source files (cpp, qml, js ...) have to be added to one of the CMakeLists.txt files to be tracked by CMake build system.
- Use BUILD_DEBUG, BUILD_RELEASE and BUILD_DEVELOPMENT variables from Helpers library
- Avoid Include directories. Not needed anymore CMake `target_*` APIs handles this through `INTERFACE`, `PUBLIC` and `PRIVATE` scope identifiers
- `StatusQ` is meant to be compiled as an external library, therefore StatusQ tests are kept inside its own directory
- Forced CMake version to `3.21` for the latest features and fixes. It is desired to be kept as recent as possible due to its backward compatibility. Following Qt's shipped version might be an option
- Depends on status-go changes to allow forcing of arm for apple silicon
Found limitations to CMake Qt API with Qt 6.3
- Having `0` as major version when using `qt_add_qml_module` doesn't work. Qml engine reports loading the `qmldir` but won't load the plugin library and no error is reported outside that exposed types are not found.
- `qt_target_qml_sources` doesn't work now, it generate a double copy error when deploying qml files in bin-directory. For now we stick with adding files using `qt_add_qml_module` central place
- Need to add `OUTPUT_DIRECTORY` to `qt_add_qml_module` to use the workaround
- If `MACOSX_BUNDLE` target property is set breaks importing of QML files. Disabled until fixed or workaround found
- For an unknown reason application executable tries to include the `QML_ELEMENT` include files, therefore for now I include all the C++ qml elements in INTERFACE
- unify the "build-..." targets
- enable a debug build by default, to simplify development
- bump vendor/DOtherSide
- avoid DOtherSide checks for docs/tests-specific tools like Doxygen
- switch to an in-place build for DOtherSide
- silence the DOtherSide build when V=0, make it more verbose with V=1
- don't delete checked out submodules in the "clean" target
- update build instructions in the README
- centralise Nim compiler options in a top-level "config.nims" (except
`-d:debug` which needs to be on the command line)

Onboarding carousel completed
Redo folder restructuring
NOTES:
1. nim_status_client binary is output to `./bin/nim_status_client`, so you'll need to update your workflow to run this file. README has been updated to reflect this. Also, if you're running VSCode, instructions for code reload were added.
2. All `ui` files now live in `ui/`
3. All lib files (ie `libstatus`) now live in `lib/`
4. Removed the Qt Creater user project file as this is unique to each user
5. Moved the project file to `ui/`, so just open up the `ui` folder in Qt creator and it should locate the project file
6. `-d:release` removed from compilation as it wasn't needed
7. Broke up main.qml in to the main app and onboarding components, however this should be broken down further into more reusable components
