I have updated the cmake_common.cmake script to make nightly testing
builds follow the gitlab repository branches directly.  I've converted
Kitware-maintained builds over to them.  I'd like to get all testing
machines converted away from the cmake.org repository branches.  Then
we can stop mirroring to the old `nightly-master`, `nightly`, and `next`
branches.

If you are running a nightly build, please see updated instructions [1].
Basically the old "dashboard" branch is now published in a new repo [2].
The updated cmake_common.cmake script will automatically convert existing
source trees to the new repository and branch layout.

Thanks,
-Brad
