[CMake] Find_ macros searching order

[David Cole]

You can achieve what you want with two find calls. The first is with
NO_DEFAULT_PATH, then if it's not found, the second is without
NO_DEFAULT_PATH.
That way, yours will be found first, but the system version will be found if
yours does not exist.
