CMake: replace PROJ_TESTS with CTest's BUILD_TESTING option #1870

As mentioned in #1263 this PR replaces PROJ_TESTS with CTest's BUILD_TESTING option, which is more generic to CMake projects. CTest (when included) automatically creates a BUILD_TESTING option, with a default ON. Backwards compatibility to the older option PROJ_TESTS is supported, but shows a deprecation message.

For example, a speedy build that does not require tests, configure a build like this:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ..
...
$ make -j
...
$ ctest
Test project /path/to/PROJ/build
No tests were found!!!

(as expected)

Looks good @mwtoews !

It would be nice to mention in the docs that you can turn testing off, in the CMake section in https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/blob/master/docs/source/install.rst

I take it that we will want to remove the PROJ_TESTS option at some point in the future. It would be good to keep track of things like that somewhere. Perhaps issues set to a 8.0.0 milestone?

* CTest automatically creates a BUILD_TESTING option (default is ON)
* Also allow PROJ_TESTS to be used, but show deprecation message;
  and add note to remove this option by PROJ 8.0
* Only build geodtest when tests are enabled
* Add documentation to configure a build using -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF

I've updated install.rst, and put a comment to indicate that the old option will be remove by PROJ 8.0, and I'll add a task for that.
