Brad King 684063c036 Refactor tool selection for edit_cache (#14544)
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its
preference.  Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because
Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake.
Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra"
generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall
back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.

CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND
------------------
Full path to cmake-gui or ccmake. Defined only for Makefile generators
when not using an "extra" generator for an IDE.
This is the full path to the CMake executable that can graphically
edit the cache. For example, cmake-gui or ccmake.
