cmake find module to find an installed poco

This file is heavily inspired by :

• https://github.com/astahl/poco-cmake/blob/master/cmake/FindPoco.cmake
• FindBoost.cmake which ships with cmake

It is being build from scratch, with limited scope, which will be extended, hopefully on a steady pace.

First limits :

• only linux
• from a poco installed on the system by building it manually (the old make syntax, as well as the cmake build syntax of poco)
• no distinction yet between debug/release
• limited inner library dependency tracking
• if possible only support IMPORTED taargets and no variable approach (moderncmake)

Current feature list :

• detects poco within the above described limits
• provides IMPORTED targets for all the poco llibraries
• provides for a limited set of those "dependencies" between those libraries (example : Util depends on Foundation"
• provide use examples

Future lists :

• installed poco versions that come from linux distriution repositories (ubuntu might have it ...)
• fully support/distinction between debug and release built types
• extend inner dependencies to cover all poco libraries
• support finding poco by finding the cmake generated files from a cmake build poco
• support cross compiling
• one day support windows ??
