install: Alternative symlink-creating mode for file(INSTALL ...)

Felix Lelchuk requested to merge felix-el/c-make-symlink:symlinks-rebase-master into master

An new environment variable 'CMAKE_INSTALL_MODE' is introduced, which can be used to ask CMake to create symbolic links instead of copying files during a file(INSTALL ...).

The operation is at the file level only, directory trees are still created using actual directories, not links.

Issue: #21612 (closed)
