cmScanDepFormat: Drop unused "outputs", "inputs", and "depends" fields
These fields are specified by our `P1689r3` paper, but are not actually
needed. The dependencies of the scanning results themselves can be
captured via normal depfile logic. Avoid saving this possibly-large
information in the scanning results. It is not needed by later steps.
