Document that it's usually sufficient to run dumpcpp manuallyv5.14.0-beta2
Type libraries are like system libraries, so they rarely change. The dependency generated by qmake for all object files to the generated output can be overkill, even though that output should really not change that much automatically. Fixes: QTBUG-66924 Change-Id: Iab2777b63ddb9d16aac7eb8bec634572be8de418 Reviewed-by: Friedemann Kleint <Friedemann.Kleint@qt.io>
