[cmake-developers] Controlling CMake GUI source/build directory from CLI

[Kyle Edwards]

Venedict,
Currently, cmake-gui only lets you specify a build or source directory,
not both.
I've opened https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/2863 
to add explicit -S and -B options to cmake-gui, which will allow you to
specify both.
