CTest: Ensure CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS behaves nicely in Superbuild setup

When building a project relying on External projects, the launchers were
not used in subprojects built without testing enabled. This was preventing
errors and warnings associated with these subprojects from being
reported on the dashboard.

This commit allows enabling the launchers independently of the value of
"BUILD_TESTING" using one of these two approaches:

1) By setting both CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS and the env variable
"CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS_DEFAULT" to 1 in the ctest dashboard driver scripts.

2) By enabling the variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS in the ctest dashboard
driver script and also by ensuring every external project passes the option
-DCMAKE_PROJECT_<projectname>_INCLUDE:FILEPATH=${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CTestUseLaunchers.cmake

+# - Set the RULE_LAUNCH_* global properties when CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is on.
+# CTestUseLaunchers is automatically included when you include(CTest).
+# However, it is split out into its own module file so projects
+# can use the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS functionality independently.
+#
+# To use launchers, set CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS to ON in a ctest -S
+# dashboard script, and then also set it in the cache of the configured
+# project. Both cmake and ctest need to know the value of it for the launchers
+# to work properly. CMake needs to know in order to generate proper build
+# rules, and ctest, in order to produce the proper error and warning
+# analysis.
+#
+# For convenience, you may set the ENV variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS_DEFAULT
+# in your ctest -S script, too. Then, as long as your CMakeLists uses
+# include(CTest) or include(CTestUseLaunchers), it will use the value of the
+# ENV variable to initialize a CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS cache variable. This cache
+# variable initialization only occurs if CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS is not already
+# defined.
