Doc: Restructure Linguist examples for clarity
The main goal is to show the qmake vs. CMake workflows side-by-side, for
easier comparison. Previously, the entire CMake workflow was inserted
into the middle of the qmake workflow.
Other changes:
* Updated the console snippets to work with all CMake generators, not
just Makefiles.
* Removed a suggestion to manually craft a Makefile.
* Fixed a typo.
Pick-to: 6.5 6.4
