[Qt-creator] Building Qt Creator with CMake

Hi,

I just pushed the submit button that brought Qt Creator CMake build files.

In order to build it one needs to set the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH CMake variable to
the location where you have Qt and Clang installed (e.g. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\5.12.3\mingw81_64;c:\llvm)

Qt Creator itself builds, and runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows.
The CMake port is not 100% done, feedback is welcome.

Below you have an example how a build script would look like:

@echo off
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -GNinja ^
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
  -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=c:\Qt\Qt5.12.3\5.12.3\mingw81_64;c:\llvm ^
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache ^
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_LAUNCHER=ccache ^
  -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=instdir ^
  -DWITH_DEBUG_CMAKE=OFF ^
  -DWITH_TESTS=ON ^
  ..\repo
cmake --build .

Cheers,
Cristian.
