Debhelper 14 and dh_qmldeps

Hey,

I was working the last days to add Debhelper 14 support to dh_qmldeps and you 
find the results now in experimental (0.22.0~rc2).  
I tried hard, that nothing should break, but you may see some more warning 
with the new version, checked via Salsa CI reverse dependencies building and 
autopkgtests.

The relevant changes:
* you are able to control the dependency field via qmlfiles with the -d 
parameter. As Debhelper 14 does not support demotion anymore.
* qml files shipped in examples directories will end up in Recommends.
* You don't need to add ${qml6:Depends} stanza anymore with Debhelper 14, as 
this is handled debhelper internally. 

In the end if you manipulate the dependency field for all/some qml dependencies 
you properly should use the -d parameter now.

Feedback is highly welcome ;)

Regards,

hefee
