Detect and support pre-configured build directories #477

Description

Brief Issue Summary

Allow Usage of a pre-configured build directory.

Expected:

  1. Configure project via cmake/ccmake/cmake-gui
  2. Open project source folder in VSC
  3. (optional) Set the build directory in the configuration if non-default
  4. CMake Tools picks up the CMakeCache.txt and determines the used variant and Kit or shows something useful if this is not possible automatically
  5. Intellisense/Include directories etc. work (requires setting the compilation database and possibly a reconfigure with the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS define)
