Don't wait for build graph generation when file is changed

Since we re-index source files if the build server sends us a `buildTarget/didChange` notification, we no longer need to wait for an up-to-date build graph when a file is modified. This resolves an issue that causes a `Scheduling tasks` progress to appear in the status bar whenever a file in the project is changed. Before #1973, this happened fairly frequently during the initial indexing when a header file was written into the build directory. After that PR the `Scheduling Indexing` status appears a lot more frequently, namely every time the index’s database is modified, which happens quite all the time during indexing...
