find_library: Allow custom lib suffix be used as find path
Add a new `CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX` variable to allow use of a custom suffix on `lib` directory names. This is a more general option than that added by commit v3.7.0-rc1~504^2 (Teach find_library and find_package to search lib32 paths, 2016-06-10). It allows the find path to be more deterministic on custom setups. See discussion in #10287 and #15994.
