REVISION SUMMARY Having to manually maintain a separate copy of all the data about qt logging categories in the categories files comes with the usual disadvantages. The new macro ecm_qt_install_logging_categories together with the additions of arguments DESCRIPTION & EXPORT to ecm_qt_declare_logging_category allows to have just one place with one copy of the data, and have the categories file automatically generated from that data, linked via the EXPORT id. For cases not using ecm_qt_declare_logging_category, but having categories manually defined in code, yet wanting to have info about those categories in the installed fiel, ecm_qt_export_logging_category allows to add those data to the system. TEST PLAN Added unit tests work, porting of some repos created categories files whose diff against the manually created files were only the DO_NOT_EDIT header.
