cmake: Add -A option to specify a generator platform
Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM without having to spell out the whole variable name. We choose the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture (e.g. x64). Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator platform. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.

Some CMake generators support a target platform name to be given
|

to the native build system to choose a compiler toolchain.
|
||||
If the user specifies a toolset name (e.g. via the cmake -A option)
|
||||
the value will be available in this variable.
|

|

The value of this variable should never be modified by project code.
