Add CheckLanguage module

Define a "check_language(<lang>)" macro to test whether <lang> can be
enabled.  Cache the result in CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER.  Add a test case
covering expected results.

+# - Check if a language can be enabled
+# Usage:
+#  check_language(<lang>)
+# where <lang> is a language that may be passed to enable_language()
+# such as "Fortran".  If CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER is already defined the
+# check does nothing.  Otherwise it tries enabling the language in a
+# test project.  The result is cached in CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILER as the
+# compiler that was found, or NOTFOUND if the language cannot be enabled.
+#
+# Example:
+#  check_language(Fortran)
+#  if(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER)
+#    enable_language(Fortran)
+#  else()
+#    message(STATUS "No Fortran support")
+#  endif()
