Added CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS to ExternalProject.

On Windows the limit for command line arguments is 8192 characters, and
this was limiting longer paths with some of our more nested projects
such as Library. Placing the -D arguments into CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS will
write out an initial cache file, that will be passed to CMake with a -C
argument as the initial cache.

By forcing the cache variables we preserve the existing behavior with
-D, to change the values of cache variables in our inner projects.
