Summary

This diff is an alternative to D2750.

This is a prerequisite for PR11651, as all the qt headers will be
included with their path relative to src/.

Example: #include "ui_intro.h will become `#include
<qt/forms/ui_intro.h>`.

The ui_*.h files generated from the *.ui files are generated by
qt5_wrap_ui in the CMakeLists.txt file directory, wherever the
source *.ui files are located.

This diff updates then restores the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR in order
to make CMake behave as if the CMakeLists.txt file was located into
the qt/forms directory.

Test Plan
mkdir buildcmake && cd buildcmake
cmake -GNinja ..
ninja check

You will end up using the ui generator from the system even when not wanted (for instance for reproducible builds) with that construct.

The Qt5Widgets_UIC_EXECUTABLE variable is set by the find_package(Qt5Widget) which is searching for files according to the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH.
The platform files override the CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH variable, so that cross compilation and gitian builds should be fine.

A simpler option would be to set CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR and call QT5_WRAP_UI instead of duplicating its source code.

Hack the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR variable as suggested.

A comment as to why this is necessary would be useful, IMO

Defining this in term of the current binary dir is the correct thing to do here.

Add a comment and set the directory relative to the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR

I think you need quotes in there in case there is a space in the path.
