Deploy Qt platform and SQLite plugins automatically on Windows

Qt loads its platform integration and SQL driver plugins dynamically
(QFactoryLoader) rather than importing them at link time, so they never
show up in orbithub.exe's import table and vcpkg's automatic DLL
deployment never copies them. Without this, the app fails to launch on
Windows with "Could not find the Qt platform plugin" or "can not load
requested driver 'QSQLITE'". Copy them out explicitly via Qt's own
exported plugin targets after each build, plus matching install() rules
for future packaging.
