Make macros T8_ENABLE_VTK etc. available to linking libraries. #2007
Edit: We have found an easy solution that does not require to generate a header file but works exclusively in CMake.
See #2012 and #2100.
When a library links against t8code, they cannot access T8_ENABLE_VTK, T8_ENABLE_OCC and other macros.
We should make these available in t8code header.
This is possible using cmake configure_file.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
External libraries using t8code cannot see if t8code is linked against another library (for example VTK) and with which version of that library.
Describe the solution or feature you'd like
For each external library LIBNAME, create a header file containing at least these macros:
T8_ENABLE_LIBNAME// 0 or 1 depending on whether t8code is linked against LIBNAME or not.T8_LIBNAME_MAJOR_VERSION// Defined only if T8_ENABLE_LIBNAME is true. The major version number of LIBNAME that t8code links again.T8_LIBNAME_MINOR_VERSION// Defined only if T8_ENABLE_LIBNAME is true. The minor version number of LIBNAME that t8code links again.
Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A
Estimated priority
"Priority: medium" Should be solved within half a year
Additional context
I already propose a solution and implemented it for VTK. See the PR.

We discussed in the dev meeting and agreed that are more CMake-style way would be preferable -- if it exists...

Once these are reviewed, we can apply the logic to OCC and other external libs as well.
