fix: delete combination check
Checking Qt version and modules combination become unfeasible, because release of new versions are frequent.
Also aqtinstall now have a feature to list versions, modules, archives.  

This is a proposal of removal of combination check feature.

- Delete combinations.json and relevant CI script to update it
- Delete feature to print warning with check combinations
- Delete Settings class methods and field to examine combination database
- Remove tests to check combinations
- Update expectation of tests, which expect showing warn.
