[QGIS-Developer] qt6-compatible plugins status

[Julien Cabieces]

Hi,

There is a plugin metadata which have been added [0] so the Qt 6 QGIS
version would not allow you to load non Qt6 compatible plugin.

Except if you set the variable QGIS_DISABLE_SUPPORTS_QT6_CHECK [1]

And to be complete about that matter, there is a script [2] that help
to migrate a plugin from pyqt5 to pyqt6

Regards,
Julien
