[vcpkg baseline][qt5-base] Fix glib link issues on linux (#16954)

* [qt5-base] fix glib link issues on linux

* add version

* remove unused vars

* update version

* write port info file.

* version stuff

* remove paraview from baseline. It was added due to the same spurious glib failures.

* trying out a different approach

* more changes

* change the if to actually use the buildtype instead

* remove x_vcpkg_get_port_info

* add option QT_OPENSSL_LINK back in

* use INCLUDE_DIRS_(DEBUG|RELEASE) instead of just INCLUDE_DIRS

* regen docs

* remove function call I forgot to remove

* [vcpkg-pkgconfig-get-modules] Move to port

* revert changes to ports.cmake

* include the file in qt5-base

* fix path

* remove unnecessary include

* Apply suggestions from code review
