Bill Hoffman 698f75971b Add options to launch the compiler through tools like ccache or distcc
Create a <LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER target property (initialized by a
CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER variable) to specify a compiler launcher
tool.  This will supersede the CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ARG1 approach to
using such tools.  The old approach set CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER to the
launcher tool while the new approach leaves this variable set to the
actual compiler.

Implement this property for Makefile and Ninja generators.  It cannot be
implemented for VS or Xcode generators as the IDE build tools offer no
such hooks.

CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER
------------------------------
Default value for :prop_tgt:`<LANG>_COMPILER_LAUNCHER` target property.
This variable is used to initialize the property on each target as it is
created. This is done only when ``<LANG>`` is ``C`` or ``CXX``.
