[cmake-developers] [wip/patch] Expose Ninja console pool feature for custom commands/targets

[Peter Collingbourne]

Hi all,

This patch exposes the Ninja console pool feature via the add_custom_command
and add_custom_target commands. Specifically, it introduces a USE_CONSOLE
flag which can be used to communicate to the generator that the command
would prefer to use the console. It has no effect on generators other than
the Ninja generator.

The patch also causes the feature to be used with the built-in cache editor.

Docs/tests to come. Any comments on the proposed approach are appreciated.

Thanks,
-- 
Peter
