Samuel Nicholas 2402a044eb Re-Structure cmake solution to be closer to the scons solution.
This is just a single step, re-arranging the code without actually changing its functionality.

new docs/cmake.md
moved the block of comments from the start of the CMakeLists.txt into the cmake.md file and converted content to markdown.

new cmake/godotcpp.cmake
Moved all exposed options into a new function godotcpp_options()
Moved configuration and generation code into godotcpp_generate()

To get all the options into the godotcpp_options() I changed the logic of GODOT_USE_HOT_RELOAD which I believe is a closer match to scons, that if the options is not set, and the build type is not release, then it defaults to ON.

I msvc builds require the default flags to be modified or it will throw errors. I have added the links to articles in the commit, but its about removing the runtime error checks /RTC1 from the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG variable. This needs to happen before the files are included.

https://discourse.cmake.org/t/how-do-i-remove-compile-options-from-target/5965

Renamed GodotCompilerWarnings.cmake to common_compiler_flags.cmake to match scons

Included files explicitly by path, as we dont need to append to the CMAKE_MODULES_PATH which effects the whole build tree.

This prevents consumers of the library from clobbering the names of the cmake include files and breaking the build.

## CMake
### cmake arguments
`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`: Compilation target (Debug or Release defaults to Debug)
### godot-cpp cmake arguments
- `GODOT_GDEXTENSION_DIR`: Path to the directory containing GDExtension interface header and API JSON file
- `GODOT_SYSTEM_HEADERS`: Mark the header files as SYSTEM. This may be useful to suppress warnings in projects including this one.
- `GODOT_WARNING_AS_ERROR`: Treat any warnings as errors
- `GODOT_USE_HOT_RELOAD`: Build with hot reload support. Defaults to YES for Debug-builds and NO for Release-builds.
- `GODOT_CUSTOM_API_FILE`: Path to a custom GDExtension API JSON file (takes precedence over `gdextension_dir`)
- `GODOT_PRECISION`: Floating-point precision level ("single", "double")
### Android cmake arguments
- `CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`: The path to the android cmake toolchain ($ANDROID_NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake)
- `ANDROID_NDK`: The path to the android ndk root folder
- `ANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_NAME`: The android toolchain (arm-linux-androideabi-4.9 or aarch64-linux-android-4.9 or x86-4.9 or x86_64-4.9)
- `ANDROID_PLATFORM`: The android platform version (android-23)
- More info [here](https://godot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/development/compiling/compiling_for_android.html)
## Examples
```shell
Builds a debug version:
cmake .
cmake --build .
```
Builds a release version with clang
```shell
CC=/usr/bin/clang CXX=/usr/bin/clang++ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "Unix Makefiles" .
cmake --build .
```
Builds an android armeabi-v7a debug version:
``` shell
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$ANDROID_NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_NDK=$ANDROID_NDK \
-DANDROID_TOOLCHAIN_NAME=arm-linux-androideabi-4.9 -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .
cmake --build .
```
## Protip
Generate the buildfiles in a sub directory to not clutter the root directory with build files:
```shell
mkdir build && cd build && cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" .. && cmake --build .
```
Ensure that you avoid exposing godot-cpp symbols - this might lead to hard to debug errors if you ever load multiple
plugins using difference godot-cpp versions. Use visibility hidden whenever possible:
```cmake
set_target_properties(<all-my-plugin-related-targets> PROPERTIES CXX_VISIBILITY_PRESET hidden)
```
## Todo
Test build for Windows, Mac and mingw.
