Summary

This PR resolves #250 by creating CMake Config-file Package.

Motivation

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-packages.7.html#config-file-packages notes:

Config-file packages are provided by upstream vendors as part of development packages, that is, they belong with the header files and any other files provided to assist downstreams in using the package

Including a CMake Config-file Package enables CMake consumers to use find_package to find and use utf8proc:

add_executable (app app.c)
find_package (utf8proc 2.9.0 REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries (app PRIVATE utf8proc::utf8proc)

The absence of a CMake Config-file Package may add difficulty using utf8proc in a CMake project. For example: the MongoDB C driver includes FindUtf8Proc.cmake using pkg-config. However, using pkg-config is not suitable for consumers building with MSVC (the -l and -L flags are unrecognized).

Use of relative paths in 422de38 is intended to make the installed package relocatable.

It seems that utf8proc follows the semantic versioning. SameMajorVersion may be better.

## Using with CMake

A CMake Config-file package is provided. To use utf8proc in a CMake project:

```cmake
add_executable (app app.c)
find_package (utf8proc 2.9.0 REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries (app PRIVATE utf8proc::utf8proc)
```

It seems that Using other compilers is a subsection of Quick Start.
How about moving this after Using other compilers?

utf8proc appears to use SemVer. Do not consider different major versions compatible.
