Bump to 6.10.1 minimum

[Ryanf55]

Description

• 6.10.0 does not compile anymore due to ABI breaks in QVideoTextureHelper (private header).
• QGC documentations says only to use 6.10.1, so let's fail at configure time if you have 6.10.0, which used to be recommended.

Problem is this hasn't been included in a release yet (miurahr/aqtinstall#952). I think we could build from a commit on their master branch though if we wanted to

@HTRamsey Is there a reason we won't lock down to a specific Qt version? To me not doing that just gives us possible support problems like this. The version we build with in CI is the only one that matters. Anything else is unverified.

[HTRamsey]

My plan was to raise the minimum for the release. It was kinda annoying raising the minimum on daily and having different branches on different versions and having to rebase all of them. But we can do it now too, doesn't matter that much

[DonLakeFlyer]

Not quite sure what the problem is you are describing but as I've said before anything other than specific lockdown only causes support problems given my experience. I think it should always be locked down to a specific version.
