ENH: Add unset() command.

This introduces the unset() command to make it easy to unset CMake
variables, environment variables, and CMake cache variables.  Previously
it was not even possible to unset ENV or CACHE variables (as in
completely remove them).  Changes based on patch from Philip Lowman.
See issue #7507.
