[Qt-creator] QtCreator 4.3 Beta and CMake 3.7.x Server Mode Slowness

[Mike Jackson]

I set the policy on our project to both new and old and I don't see any 
difference in how QtCreator is loading the project from CMake. I guess 
if I could debug the cmake that is coming back from CMake I might be 
better able to understand what we are doing in the DREAM.3D CMake that 
is causing the issue.
