Backport PR #17119 into 1.0

[AIRCAP]

Backport of #17119 into 1.0.

For now this PR is a draft to test if backporting even works or introduces undesired behavior or compilation errors from a technical side.

Once #17119 is merged in main this can later serve as a PR to consider the backport itself.

Method:

1. combined all the commits in #17119 up to and including 81e17b76c435453eedae38a2c50e74e03be8f706 into a single commit (diff with main)
2. cherry pick that commit into releases/FreeCAD-1-0

if more commits get pushed into #17119 I would likely force-push them here in a new single commit
