Fancy new CMake thing to do everything

Got a live demo of how it works

Context properties and accessing items from other files using their IDs is bad; try to stop doing it.

QML LSP and linting help us see them at least.

Need to just fix things one at a time as we see them.

When considering to merge things, consider dependencies, what wants or needs to be in our Flatpak runtimes, and build times.

Conclusions:

Changes are fine-ish now; let's try it out in NeoChat as a pilot project.

Want to remove themable QML code from Global Themes. Removed Lock screens and OSDs so far; remaining things:
