Replace old-school cmake with the so-called "Modern CMake", meaning
preferring using targets and properties over directory settings and
variables. This allows greater flexibility, robustness and clarity over
how the code works.
The following deprecated commands will be replaced with their modern
alternatives that operates on a specific target, rather than all targets
in the current directory:
- add_compile_options -> target_compile_options
- include_directories -> target_include_directories
- link_libraries -> target_link_libraries
- add_definitions -> target_compile_definitions
There are mainly four main targets that we currently use: nvim, libnvim,
nvim-test (used by unittests) and ${texe} (used by
check-single-includes). The goal is to explicitly define the
dependencies of each target fully, rather than having everything be
dependent on everything else.
Problem: With a long running Vim the temp directory might be cleared on
some systems.
Solution: Lock the temp directory. (closesvim/vim#6044)

Problem:
Dirs "config", "packaging", and "third-party" are all closely related
but this is not obvious from the layout. This adds friction for new
contributors.
Solution:
- rename config/ to cmake.config/
- rename test/config/ to test/cmakeconfig/ because it is used in Lua
tests: require('test.cmakeconfig.paths').
- rename packaging/ to cmake.packaging/
- rename third-party/ to cmake.deps/ (parallel with .deps/)
