qt: reparent video window to root whence UI closes
The video window has to exist until it is closed by its owner, i.e.
WindowClose() is called. If it stayed as a child of the main UI window,
it would be destroyed with the main UI window.
This reparents it (back) to the root window before the main UI window
gets destroyed. This works around #21875.

The main window may be destroyed before the video window. This notably
occurs if the user requests to close the main UI via window decorations.
While Qt allows those requests to be rejected, doing so would
reintroduce obnoxious bug #4606.
The Qt-X11 display connection will be closed as well as it belongs to
the QApplication instance.
This creates a separate window belonging to a separate display
connection, and which is not tied to the QApplication and QMainWindow
instances. Unfortunately, this adds yet another connection to the X11
display server in the VLC process in addition to QApplication's and the
video display's. And that connection won't process events.
Refs #21875.

The generated cache is not used in the package. It causes spurious build
failures on the arm64 and ppc64el builds, that are not reproducible
elsewhere.
