try_compile: Optionally forward custom platform variables to test project
Add a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable to specify a list of custom variables to be forwarded to a `try_compile` test project. This will be useful for platform information modules or toolchain files to forward some platform-specific set of variables from the host project (perhaps set in its cache) to the test project so that it can build the same way.
