Summary:                    ctest_start(Model APPEND) should keep the initial
track specified in first call to ctest_start
Description: 
I recently spent some time in solving an obvious problem which could be easily
avoided.

In a CTest script, I do a first ctest_start(ModelName TRACK cdash_track_name),
ctest_build then run another ctest script on a node of our cluster which starts
with ctest_start(ModelName APPEND) and then ctest_test.

Unfortunately, the track is not kept.  This sounds logical to keep information
given in the first ctest_start.  Another coherent solution would be to define a
variable 'CTEST_TRACK' which would be automatically used in a ctest_start as
already done for CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY.

Steps to Reproduce: 
* First ctest_script contains: 

ctest_start(ModelName TRACK cdash_track_name)
ctest_configure(BUILD "CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY")

* Second ctest_script contains:

ctest_start(ModelName)
ctest_test(BUILD "CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY")

Results of configure step will be sent to cdash_track_name track on the CDash
while second is sent to the usual 'Nightly' track
