* speeds up incremental builds as changes to a header will not always
need the full mocs_compilation.cpp for all the target's headers rebuild,
while having a moc file sourced into a source file only adds minor
extra costs, due to small own code and the used headers usually
already covered by the source file, being for the same class/struct
* seems to not slow down clean builds, due to empty mocs_compilation.cpp
resulting in those quickly processed, while the minor extra cost of the
sourced moc files does not outweigh that in summary.
Measured times actually improved by some percent points.
(ideally CMake would just skip empty mocs_compilation.cpp & its object
file one day)
* enables compiler to see all methods of a class in same compilation unit
to do some sanity checks
* potentially more inlining in general, due to more in the compilation unit
* allows to keep using more forward declarations in the header, as with the
moc code being sourced into the cpp file there definitions can be ensured
and often are already for the needs of the normal class methods

BUG: 397040
Test Plan:
Untested, as I do not experience the bug on my system and had no time to
invest into trying to.

The JSON file argument is passed to Q_PLUGIN_METADATA, which is a no-code
macro at the C++ level and only used to note information used by moc
for the generated moc file.
So when the content of the JSON file has changed, this will not change
anything in the preprocessed source file itself. It only has an effect on
the content of the moc file generated based on it, which is either included
and thus already triggers a dependecy or generated by automoc and compiled
separately into the target with the needed dependencies.
It is automoc which needs to properly trigger a recreation of the moc
file when checking the sources (and at least in 3.9 & 10 does),
and this is nothing that can be influenced by dependency rules.
