Install cmake package and pkgconfig files. Closes #954927

Dominique Lasserre requested to merge lasall/armadillo:954927-cmake-pkgconfig into master

As the title suggests install cmake package files and also .pc file.

  • .pc file seems to me platform independent so I chose /usr/share over /usr/lib/${deb_platform_smth}/
  • Behavior changed to upstream by introducing Armadillo:: namespace. I chose that approach because ensmallen library uses Armadillo::Armadillo as imported library. (But I might miss any big picture here and don't know how other dependent libraries select that target.)

cmake-data includes FindArmadillo.cmake, therefore to use this cmake package, one should use the CONFIG switch

find_package(Armadillo CONFIG)
...
target_link_libraries(mytarget PRIVATE Armadillo::Armadillo)

Also the namespace part is probably best included upstream...
