Description
e.g. clangformat, clangtidy, doxygen, etc.
This seems to be causing more problems then its solving. Originally it was thought that these were safe to be turned on by default because it would just find whatever was on the system and then the users would not call make style. But for one example, this has caused CMake to hang on a couple systems trying to determine information about the executable.
See: https://github.com/LLNL/axom/pull/568
Having them off by default and the codes can turn them on when in developer mode (or just in general) is safer.

Research direction
Start by tracing the CMake configuration that enables clangformat, clangtidy, doxygen, and similar tools by default. Confirm that these tools are disabled in a normal configuration while remaining available when developer mode or an explicit option enables them; use the behavior described in LLNL/axom#568 as a regression reference.
