[CMake] Alternative to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

[Guillaume Dumont]

A better alternative would be to use the command line switch
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=<Qt install location> or similarly via CMake-GUI. Or
you could also use the env var. See
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.3/command/find_package.html?highlight=cmake_prefix_path
for search order.
