cmake: add ghostty_vt_add_target() for cross-compilation (#12212)

Add a ghostty_vt_add_target() CMake function that lets downstream
projects build libghostty-vt for a specific Zig target triple. The
function encapsulates zig discovery, build-type-to-optimize mapping, the
zig build invocation, and output path conventions so consumers do not
need to duplicate any of that logic. It creates named IMPORTED targets
(e.g. ghostty-vt-static-linux-amd64) that work alongside the existing
native ghostty-vt and ghostty-vt-static targets.

The build-type mapping is factored into a shared _GHOSTTY_ZIG_OPT_FLAG
variable used by both the native build and the new function.

A new example/c-vt-cmake-cross/ demonstrates end-to-end cross-
compilation using zig cc as the C compiler, auto-detecting a cross
target based on the host OS.
