Do not try to export binaries if --only-compilation-database is set (#1181)

* Do not try to export binaries if --only-compilation-database is set

otherwise an empty "build/fqbn/..." folder is created if "always-export-binaries"
option is set via config file.

* slightly simplify function call

* [skip changelog] Add integration test
