Provide a way to disable automatic CMake invokation

    Description

      With QtCreator 4.0 beta1, QtCreator automatically invokes CMake to re-generate makefiles whenever I edit one of CMakeLists.txt in my project. This can be inconvenient because if I need to edit multiple CMakeLists.txt files, QtCreator invokes CMake after each modification. When the changes are supposed to be synchronized, these attempts to re-generate makefiles are often unsuccessful.

      Furthermore, whenever CMake is invoked the lower panel with its output is opened, which is inconvenient as I have to close it every time.

      In my workflow I usually edit one or multiple CMakeLists.txt and maybe some code and then build the project. Makefiles are automatically re-generated as part of the build process and that is the most convenient way for me.
