[Qt-creator] Disabling File Changed dialog

[Coda Highland]

I completely agree with the current behavior as defaults, although I
would agree to options to set the behavior.

The reason you might not want to reload the file from disk is because
reloading kills your undo history. Also, the update may have been
unexpected and you want to inspect the changes before loading them, or
worse you may have had unsaved changes in the editor.
