This commit switches the project's build system from qmake to CMake.
Using CMake has several advantages:
Looking forward, Qt 6 uses CMake by default. It will be easier to migrate to Qt 6 with CMake as the default build system.
CMake is essentially an industry standard for C++ projects. This is a good learning opportunity, and because there are many people using CMake, it is easy to find resources for most edge-cases.
Automatic discovery of tests whose build system is CMake-by-default.
Part of a series of commits for #136.
