Cleaning up cdash.org integration, what to do, or any hidden usage still?

Hi,

(cc: kde-devel for heads-up, please reply only to kde-core-devel).

we stumbled over some CTestConfig.cmake files in some of the KDE git 
repositories. Which seem to originate from a time where people worked on 
integration with cdash.org, that is a decade ago :)

It seems though this integration no longer is maintained:
* no KDE projects seem listed on cdash.org anymore:
  https://my.cdash.org/viewProjects.php?allprojects=1
* the KDEUtilsNightly.cmake seems to have found no counterpart in the ECM
  world. The only reference seen is the check for the presence of a
  CTestConfig.cmake file and the inclusion of the CTest module in that case.

With KDE's deployment of first Jenkins and now Gitlab CI around the purpose of 
the integration with cdash.org also seems no longer needed, by what I 
understand?

So can we state that this cdash integration is officially no longer done, and 
thus we can clean up any traces of it, for clean and non-confusing data & 
code?


Are there any other things left to do to clean up this, besides the following?

T1) Remove any remaining CTestConfig.cmake files from KDE repos.

T2) Remove support in KDECMakeSettings for deal with CTestConfig.cmake files:

T3) Add a note on the respective Wiki page about being outdated:

Cheers
