[CMake] Setting /MANIFESTUAC:NO with Visual Studio 2012 is ignored

[Eric Berge]

I am updating our cmake files from Visual Studio 2008 to 2012 and the
setting of CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS to include /MANIFESTUAC:NO (which worked
with VS2008) appears to be ignored.  The resulting exe files have the
following manifest in them:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes'?>
<assembly xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' manifestVersion='1.0'>
  <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
    <security>
      <requestedPrivileges>
        <requestedExecutionLevel level='asInvoker' uiAccess='false' />
      </requestedPrivileges>
    </security>
  </trustInfo>
</assembly>

I'm not sure, but I believe this is due to the following being included for
the RelWithDebInfo build I'm doing:

<GenerateManifest
Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='RelWithDebInfo|x64'">true</GenerateManifest>

and I expect this should be "false" (but I'm not sure whether there are
other parts of the Visual Studio project file that need to be updated as
well.

I believe this is another manifestation or is at least related to issue
12963 - http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12963

So I'm probably requesting that issue be bumped from "backlog" status.
