Refactor tool selection for edit_cache (#14544)
Refactor edit_cache tool selection to ask each global generator for its preference. Teach the Ninja generator to always use cmake-gui because Ninja by design cannot run interactive terminal dialogs like ccmake. Teach the Makefile generator to use cmake-gui when also using an "extra" generator whose IDE has no terminal to run ccmake, and otherwise fall back to CMAKE_EDIT_COMMAND selection for normal Makefile build systems.

------------------
-Full path to cmake-gui or ccmake.
+Full path to cmake-gui or ccmake. Defined only for Makefile generators
+when not using an "extra" generator for an IDE.
This is the full path to the CMake executable that can graphically
edit the cache. For example, cmake-gui or ccmake.
