Describe the bug
qtwebengine doesn't detect that the core Qt6WebEngine module isn't being built
This can happen in different situations where the detection of a dependency fails. The underlying issue is the qtwebengine build system allows some modules to fail to build without the configure script returning an error code. #38497 provides a repro example for this where the trigger is that the ffmpeg version in the current baseline is too new for qtwebengine and it prints this message while still returning 0 as exit code from the configure step:
WARNING: QtWebEngine won't be built. Unmodified ffmpeg >= 5.0 is not supported.
The Vcpkg port patch the Qt configure script to make that warning fatal.
