cmMakefile: store the number of last matches in a CMake var
With PushScope and PopScope, keeping track of another bit of data for each scope isn't easy. Instead, store it as another CMake variable so it gets implicitly tracked along with everything else. This works in a revert of commit 7d674b5f0b28a610333644d417c2e8cb796cc9e4.

+CMAKE_MATCH_COUNT
+-----------------
+
+The number of matches with the last regular expression.
+
+When a regular expression match is used, CMake fills in ``CMAKE_MATCH_<n>``
+variables with the match contents. The ``CMAKE_MATCH_COUNT`` variable holds
+the number of match expressions when these are filled.
