add raspberrypi support for Qt6 / gui-v2 #1305

Jeroen looked into this for a few days. The issue with running gui-v2 on a pi (for a connected screen such as a waveshare) is that on the pi we currently don't have hardware acceleration.

And while on paper that should be relatively easy to enable (drivers are in the mainline kernel), some tests showed that just having the newer kernel does not make graphics acceleration work.

So, postponed for later; we don't want finishing this to delay the launch of gui-v2 in an official release.
