Description
### Brief Issue Summary
CMake extension allows to start debugging right from the box, however, if you modify source files while debugging and then hit Restart on debugging controls it won't rebuild the project.
Is it possible to control the behavior of this button to check for modifications?

Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the CMake Tools extension by modifying source files during a debug session and selecting Restart. Trace how the debug restart action invokes the build workflow; done means restarting after modifications detects the changes and rebuilds the target before debugging resumes.
