ENH: Improve new error/warning message generation

  - Add cmListFileBacktrace to record stack traces
  - Move main IssueMessage method to the cmake class instance
    (make the backtrace an explicit argument)
  - Change cmMakefile::IssueMessage to construct a backtrace
    and call the cmake instance version
  - Record a backtrace at the point a target is created
    (useful later for messages issued by generators)
