cmake: On configure error suggest looking at CMake*.log files
When CMake reports failure to configure a project, especially when the toolchain does not initialize properly, the true reason may be clear from reading the CMakeFiles/CMake(Output|Error).log files. Advise users to look at these files if they exist when configuration fails. Add RunCMake.Configure test to check that the log files are mentioned when configuration fails.
