ExternalProject: allow empty source directories under the build tree

Ben Boeckel requested to merge ben.boeckel/cmake:external-project-allow-empty-source-dir-in-build-tree into master

ExternalProject is assuming that the source directory will be made available by some other rule that the needs to be ensured using dependencies.

Open questions:

  • Should this warn in some way?
  • How best to document this? Just mention in in the paragraph for SOURCE_DIR?
