installer: added missing library configurations and removed unneeded Qt DLLs / refs #10771 - added initial portable package

I removed those DLLs and the GUI application was running fine. There's several other Qt DLLs which exist in the deployment folder but are not added into the installer and the application still runs fine.

If the "portable" package is complete the "deploy" upload should only be performed in case the build fails for debugging purposes. A ticket about adding a portable package can be found at https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/10771.

I will add updating of the filelists in the project files to dmake with a later PR.

cppcheck users likely do not need this cppcheck-lib.cfg file.

[firewave]

That's possibly true for most of the files. 😁

Since we offer an API (and the accompanied cppcheck-core.dll) I think it makes sense to include this. I also assume the Linux packages do not omit this.

[danmar]

But this cppcheck-lib.cfg is only intended for our self check. I do not believe any users use cppcheck-core.dll in their software.

Since we offer an API

I do not know that we offer an API so the cppcheck-core.dll can be used. In theory you can copy the headers from our lib folder.. however those are changed every single version they are highly unstable.

This is included in the linux packages since make install copies all of them unconditionally: https://fedora.pkgs.org/38/fedora-aarch64/cppcheck-2.9-4.fc38.aarch64.rpm.html.

We need tests for the built packages in the CI which checks against a filelist for missing/unexpected files.

The following files in the addons folder are not included in the installer though it seems they should be (they most likely are on Linux):

cppcheck.py
cppcheckdata.doxyfile
misra.exe
naming.json
README.md
runaddon.py

[firewave]

The configuration list should also be generated/updated via dmake. Something for the future.

The following files in the addons folder are not included in the installer though it seems they should be (they most likely are on Linux):

make install only copies the *.py files so we should also include all of those on Windows. We do omit the *.json ones on Linux. CMake is doing something different - but that is already tracked in https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/8659. I will work on that in a separate PR.
