Qt Creator 14.0.0

Description
Qt Creator by default checks the "Add build library search path to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH" button on macOS.
This is not compatible apparently with the way homebrew ships things: https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/5420
This leads to new users building basic apps with Qt from homebrew and getting crashes (and immediately concluding that Qt does not work / is not a viable platform for making their app in). See also this long forum discussion: https://forum.qt.io/topic/135220/random-application-crash-on-apple-silicon-m1-qt-6-2-3/66
It would be great if Qt Creator did detect that if a kit is using homebrew-provided Qt (basically simply by looking if "homebrew" or "Cellar" is in the Qt path), then by default not check this checkbox when loading the project ; it doesn't prevent the app to run and the user can always check it afterwards.
