[cmake-developers] [PATCH] Use full path for all source files in ninja build.

I suppose we can also change "cmake --build path", to use "ninja -C path"
instead of "cd path && ninja",
but making ninja always use full paths for source files would have these
benefits:

   1. consistency with make (as pointed out by Brad)
   2. consistency regardless of where the build directory is located (in
   source, under source, or out of source)
   3. all three ways of invoking the build would work for IDEs (cmake
   --build, cd && ninja, ninja -C),
   so future IDE writers won't run into the sample problem no matter which
   way they choose
