[feature] Add option to turn off txt generator

See original GitHub issue

I have created a tools generator to install executable tools.

By calling the following command with the tools generator, the txt generator is also activated:

conan install ccls/0.20190823.3@username/stable -g tools -if ~/.local/bin

Which results in conanbuildinfo.txt being installed to the bin directory.

It would be nice if there was an option to turn off the txt generator.

Certainly, the txt generator will go away in Conan 2.0. At the moment, an option to not generate it seems a bit too much, I’d suggest to remove the file manually as a workaround in the meantime, and we will take care of this in Conan 2.0.

I think this makes sense and IMO we have been using the txt generator to solve other issues. I think this makes sense but don’t know it could be implemented as a opt-out.

Anyway, I am sure we could disable it by default ina future conan 2.0
