Qt Assistant display issues

Description

The Qt Assistant executable provided with OSGeo4W (\apps\Qt5\bin\assistant.exe) uses the QTextBrowser to display Qt help files.

This can lead to serious display problems, for example in case of the QGIS API help file (https://www.qgis.org/api/qgis.qch).

The problem seems to be avoided if the Qt Assistant is compiled with Qt WebKit.

This screenshot give an example for the differences between QTextBrowser and Qt WebKit versions of the Qt Assistant: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1404870/116198849-c0d21c80-a736-11eb-8427-dee44702b4e5.png
