* add plugin options
* refactored comment message
* added tabs for better readability
* removed newlines as they are not working properly
* allow PROTOC_OPTIONS and EXPORT_MACRO in parallel for protobuf_generate
If `-Dprotobuf_USE_EXTERNAL_GTEST=ON` is passed to CMake, it will use an external Google Test copy (i.e. by calling `find_package(GTest REQUIRED)`) rather than the one provided as a submodule.
This makes sense for larger projects that might already include Google Test and want to use a more standard CMake approach.
Also updated build instructions with this information, and more idiomatic usage.

Convenience feature: enable users to test via the familiar `ctest` command rather than making the `check` target.
They would be able to use the familiar CMake pattern:
```
cmake -S source/protobuf -B build/protobuf ...
cmake --build build/protobuf
ctest --test-dir build/protobuf
cmake --install build/protobuf
```
This is a follow-up to 9f447fc9d3da93da29b8301f1a8ca57b1ea812d7
This updates the CMake support to additionally symlink the soversion value
to the generated shared library when so generated. This aligns the
generated soversion with that traditionally used by the Makefile build
workflow and provides cross-compatibility irrespective of build approach
used.
The primary version of the non-symlink library retains the actual
(non-SO) project version for clarity and compatibility with
installations built using prior versions of CMake support. An example of
the net resulting symlink structures is shown below, where the most
important aspect is that the symlink matching the embedded SONAME is
present (libprotobuf.so.30 in the example case).
Makefile:
libprotobuf.so -> libprotobuf.so.30.0.0
libprotobuf.so.30 -> libprotobuf.so.30.0.0
libprotobuf.so.30.0.0
CMake:
libprotobuf.so -> libprotobuf.so.30
libprotobuf.so.30 -> libprotobuf.so.3.19.0.0
libprotobuf.so.3.19.0.0
Fixes: #8635
when using CMake >= 3.15, we use CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY
to reproduce the /MT vs /MD when protobuf_MSVC_STATIC_RUNTIME
is TRUE or FALSE
MultiThreaded is for /MT
MultiThreadedDebug is for /MTd
MultiThreadedDLL is for /MD
MultiThreadedDebugDLL is for /MDd
This is based on @haberman's changes in #8257. Now that we're using
std::mutex we no longer need to check whether pthreads are available, so
this commit removes references to HAVE_PTHREAD. I left the autotools
build alone, though, since we are likely to drop support for it soon
anyway.
The `VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL` operator was introduced in CMake 3.7.0
(released in 2016). Use the long form of the check by splitting the
operation into two comparisons to support the older CMake.
When using a new enough CMake (3.15+) prefer to use the
`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` property on targets to select the runtime library
variant. This property is automatically set to the value specified by
`CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`. This property requires that the CMake
Policy 91 is set to new (see CMP0091).
