Qt6: QTextStream compatibility (#120)

- provides compatibility with the removal of the global ::endl
for use with QTextStream; Qt6 requires Qt::endl
- includes Qt6 specific changes necessary to deal with the
replacement of QTextCodec by QStringConverter and the slight changes
to the default setup of QTextStream (to UTF-8 with auto-detect of
UTF-16)
