Add some more dependencies on Qt6.

I've marked most of these as 'role=nodep' so that jhalfs doesn't pick up
multiples in cases where it's not needed.

Transmission, Libreoffice, CMake, Poppler, and Appstream now have Qt6
ports working well.

I have left Qca, gpgme, polkit-qt, and other KDE-related packages alone.
They do have support for Qt6, but we should not list them as they are
incompatible with the Qt5 versions and we could end up causing
unintentional breakage by doing this.
