Kai Köhne d5c3e1336b Allow to load -developer-build without configurations into an IDE 
Let -developer-build, -cmake-file-api set up the CMake File API query,
so that the build can be loaded directly into IDE's like Qt Creator.

[ChangeLog][Build System] configure -developer-build now sets up
the CMake File API query, so that a build can be loaded without
reconfiguration into Qt Creator and other IDE's. Pass
-developer-build -no-cmake-file-api to configure to disable this.

Fixes: QTBUG-89487

Usage: configure [options] [-- cmake-options]
This is a convenience script for configuring Qt with CMake.
Options after the double dash are directly passed to CMake.
Top-level installation directories:
-prefix <dir> ...... The deployment directory, as seen on the target device.
[/usr/local/Qt-$QT_VERSION; qtbase build directory if
-developer-build]
-extprefix <dir> ... The installation directory, as seen on the host machine.
[SYSROOT/PREFIX]
-external-hostbindir <path> ... Path to Qt tools built for this machine.
This option is required when cross-compiling Qt.
Fine tuning of installation directory layout. Note that all directories
except -sysconfdir should be located under -prefix:
-bindir <dir> ......... Executables [PREFIX/bin]
-headerdir <dir> ...... Header files [PREFIX/include]
-libdir <dir> ......... Libraries [PREFIX/lib]
-archdatadir <dir> .... Arch-dependent data [PREFIX]
-plugindir <dir> ...... Plugins [ARCHDATADIR/plugins]
-libexecdir <dir> ..... Helper programs [ARCHDATADIR/bin on Windows,
ARCHDATADIR/libexec otherwise]
-qmldir <dir> ......... QML imports [ARCHDATADIR/qml]
-datadir <dir> ........ Arch-independent data [PREFIX]
-docdir <dir> ......... Documentation [DATADIR/doc]
-translationdir <dir> . Translations [DATADIR/translations]
-sysconfdir <dir> ..... Settings used by Qt programs [PREFIX/etc/xdg]
-examplesdir <dir> .... Examples [PREFIX/examples]
-testsdir <dir> ....... Tests [PREFIX/tests]
-hostdatadir <dir> .... Data used by qmake [PREFIX]
Conventions for the remaining options: When an option's description is
followed by a list of values in brackets, the interpretation is as follows:
'yes' represents the bare option; all other values are possible prefixes to
the option, e.g., -no-gui. Alternatively, the value can be assigned, e.g.,
--gui=yes. Values are listed in the order they are tried if not specified;
'auto' is a shorthand for 'yes/no'. Solitary 'yes' and 'no' represent binary
options without auto-detection.
Configure meta:
-help, -h ............ Display this help screen
-redo ................ Re-configure with previously used options.
Additional options may be passed, but will not be
saved for later use by -redo.

have dedicated command line options as well.

CMake instead of auto-detecting one.

system generator.

Note that some sanitizers cannot be combined;
for example, -sanitize address cannot be combined with

sanitizers or generate instrumented code to collect execution
