cmake: allow the generator to be changed

Add OECMAKE_GENERATOR variable to control which generator is used by CMake,
defaulting to the upstream default of Unix Makefiles for now.  The other
supported option is Ninja, which is faster than Make for large projects (for
example, using Ninja takes three minutes off webkitgtk:do_compile for me).
