Dropping Globe plugin from the QGIS sources. It depends on osgearth no
newer than version 2.8, released on 2016-09-05, and which is impossible
to build against modern (Qt 5.13+) versions of Qt. With this, the
optional QGIS dependency on OpenSceneGraph and osgearth is also removed.
I've asked the qgis-developers mailing list, and some of the original authors agreed with the change:
https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2020-May/061298.html
There, @wonder-sk pointed out that most of its functionality is provided by the 3D view.
This removes all references to the Globe plugin, openscenegraph and osgearth, including CMake macros and options.
I believe this shoult NOT be backported to LTR, as there might be someone still using it (but it is disabled by default on all platform configurations).
