CMake: Re-work configure flags for CMake generators
Remove the -cmake-makefiles configure argument as its meaning was in
essence "do not pass a -G argument to CMake".
Instead, we add the following arguments:
-cmake-generator <name> to pass -G <name> to CMake
-cmake-use-default-generator to pass no -G argument to CMake
If none of those arguments is given, we try to autodetect the
generator. If a ninja executable is found, we prefer the Ninja
generator. On Unix we fall back to "Unix Makefiles".
On Windows, we do a poor man's compiler detection and select one of
"NMake Makefiles", "NMake Makefiles JOM" and "MinGW Makefiles".
