Initially Fedora was the *only* platform offering qt6 binaries, so all
the CI setup was done using that. But now that Ubuntu/etc have caught
up I still think it's a good idea to leave the CI with Fedora so that
we get a better spread of testing environments. (Fedora generally has
much more recent gdal/geos/proj/etc so by running CI on this
environment we're more likely to catch issues/test differences across
a wider range of library versions)
