update CMakeLists.txt to accomodate the needs of the community

[axxel]

I am interested in using this project inside zxing-cpp (see zxing-cpp/zxing-cpp#336). I'd very much like to incorporate it via cmake's FetchContent mechanism. This is currently not possible due to the way gtest is setup. A quick look at the network graph revealed that quite a few people felt the need to disable that as well.

Is there any chance that the CMakeLists.txt could be updated with

• the option of disabling the gtest infrastructure (preferably by default)
• making sure it builds with cmake without the platform specific shell script autogen.sh
• an update of the required minimum cmake version to something more adequately representing the current landscape (fixing deprecation warnings)?

Sure could you explain to me exactly what this is

• the build fails with the error message No rule to make target '/home/axel/contrib/zxing-cpp.git/gtest/lib/libgtest.a', needed by 'bin/ced_unittest'. Stop.
• the configure step complains about Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of CMake.

Is there anything else I can do to help move this forward?
