Remove official support for QMake (#3839)
* delet chatterino.pro

* Update documentation

* Update Github Actions config

* Update Cirrus CI config

* Attempt to fix Cirrus CI

* Add changelog entry

* Delete tools/update_filelist.py

It was a QMake-only script? Maybe will need revert + change to CMake or something?

* fix?

* Fuck this linter

* Attempt to clean up build.yml a little

* Add cmaake to install list, remove step for qmake PATH

* Change list entries to always use 1.

Sneaky unrelated change

* These are no longer tests!

* FUCK YOU PRETTIER

* Make BUILDING_ON_LINUX.md simpler

* Get rid of Jenkins

* Get rid of travis

* Remove dupes

* Remove appveyor

* Remove qmake from conanfile

* Try removing explicit qmake path

* Nothing uses the qt style plugins installer anymore

* Update manual linux building instructions

* Update freebsd compilation instructions with a copy paste from the linux instructions

* Remove unused docker files

* Remove linux breakpad build script as it's unused

* Update changelog entry phrasing

* Lint build markdown files

* Change top changelog entry to not be confused as a link

* Skip QtCreator conan setup if conan is disabled

This reduces the amount of warnings & errors Windows users get with
QtCreator

* lint building on linux file

# Building on macOS
#### Note - If you want to develop Chatterino 2 you might also want to install Qt Creator (make sure to install **Qt 5.12 or newer**), it is not required though and any C++ IDE (might require additional setup for cmake to find Qt libraries) or a normal text editor + running cmake from terminal should work as well
#### Note - Chatterino 2 is only tested on macOS 10.14 and above - anything below that is considered unsupported. It may or may not work on earlier versions
1. Install Xcode and Xcode Command Line Utilities
1. Start Xcode, go into Settings -> Locations, and activate your Command Line Tools
1. Install brew https://brew.sh/
1. Install the dependencies using `brew install boost openssl rapidjson cmake`
1. Install Qt5 using `brew install qt@5`
1. (_OPTIONAL_) Install [ccache](https://ccache.dev) (used to speed up compilation by using cached results from previous builds) using `brew install ccache`
1. Go into the project directory
1. Create a build folder and go into it (`mkdir build && cd build`)
1. Compile using `cmake .. && make`
If the Project does not build at this point, you might need to add additional Paths/Libs, because brew does not install openssl and boost in the common path. You can get their path using
`brew info openssl`
`brew info boost`
If brew doesn't link OpenSSL properly then you should be able to link it yourself by using these two commands:
- `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/* /usr/local/lib`
- `ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/include/openssl /usr/local/include/openssl`
The lines which you need to add to your project file should look similar to this
```
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/local/opt/openssl/include
LIBS += -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
```
