Ninja: add CMAKE_JOB_POOLS variable as default for JOBS_POOLS
This enables configuration of build parallelism with the Ninja generator by passing arguments on the command line to CMake. For example, cmake \ '-DCMAKE_JOB_POOLS:STRING=compile=5;link=2' \ -DCMAKE_JOB_POOL_COMPILE:STRING=compile \ -DCMAKE_JOB_POOL_LINK:STRING=link \ ~/src/MyProject
