Closes #958

Leon Matthes added 2 commits May 23, 2024 11:53
Previously, we linked the entire staticlib generated by the Rust
compiler into our CMake target.
This was part of what caused the recent issues in CI (see KDAB#958).
Cargo already only linked the plugin&resources library as whole-archive,
which is where where it is needed.
Now we simply export the initializers library into the CXXQT_EXPORT_DIR,
so we can only link the initializers with whole-archive.
This is a lot cleaner and should lead to fewer linker failures.

Closes KDAB#958

Okay, new problem, now the cxx-qt-lib initializers aren't being included, as they're just part of the main binary linked by cargo, not the -initializers library...
