qt: permit usage of system libjpeg/libjpeg-turbo

[mrjoel]

Summary

Changes to recipe: qt/6.x.x and qt/5.x.x

Motivation

This enables usage, particularly on Linux, of using the system native libjpeg equivalent library, whether the system provides libjpeg or libjpeg-turbo.

Details

Adding system as an allowed value for the with_libjpeg option enables subsequent processing and enabling of the Qt JPEG support, without having to build a specific library within Conan (and presumably vendor it with the application). This approach allows building using the native distribution provided jpeg variant and having it as a system dependency.

The result is not incurring a Conan requires, while still allowing e.g., FEATURE_system_jpeg to be enabled and have Qt configuration report jpeg support.

• Tested locally with at least one configuration using a recent version of Conan

For Windows, this leaves the door open for no system package being available. It does the same on Linux as well, if neither -dev{,el} package is installed. I considered adding a block in config_options() disallowing the system option on Windows, but decided not to. If there's a better way to handle this in general I'd certainly be open to it.

^{Note: To save resources, CI tries to finish as soon as an error is found. For this reason you might find that not all the references have been launched or not all the configurations for a given reference. Also, take into account that we cannot guarantee the order of execution as it depends on CI workload and workers availability.}

You can just use platform_requires for this purpose and leave the recipe as it is. Just add something like this to your profile:

[platform_requires]
libjpeg/9e

Hi @mrjoel - as mentioned above, have you tried the suggested https://docs.conan.io/2.5/reference/config_files/profiles.html#platform-requires ?
