Vscode-cmake-tools: Select a Kit dropdown appears for non-CMake projects after installation or when activation by an extension takes too long

[sean-mcmanus]

Bug#1: Install CMake Tools with a non-CMake project and the Select a Kit dropdown appears.
Bug#2: Put a breakpoint in the activation() method of another extension (e.g. the C/C++ extension) or otherwse cause "too slow" activation, which causes VS Code's "workspace contains */CMakeLists.txt" activation to switch to "" activation, causing "Select a Kit" to appear for non-CMake projects.

The fix for both of these would be to be to check on activation if the real activation conditions really occurred or not, similar to what the C/C++ extension does. Other fixes might be possible too.

Bug#3: When the above bugs are hit, then the select a kits also appears after adding a new workspace folder for a non-CMake folder.

Can we also get rid of CMake extension related UI widgets/elements like these:

If there is no "CMakeLists.txt" in the folder?

This occurs very frequently in cold start scenarios, such as when a TypeScript/non-CMake folder is opened for the first time. Also seems to occur more often when extensions are updated.
