Instead of using if(ON)/if(OFF) to determine which of the "hardcoded"
add_library(... SHARED ...) or (... STATIC ...) should be used,
specify a new BUILD_LIB_TYPE variable that is set directly to either
SHARED or STATIC and substituted in the `add_library()` statement
when assimpTargets.cmake.in is configured.
This removes a CMP0012 collision with prior `cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6)`
statement and makes the CMP0012 warning not appear in users' projects.
This problem is mentioned in issue #2685.
When built with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS disabled, the exported CMake
targets are modified to reference the static library location.
This also fixes version detection for VS2017 and beyond within
the target import script.
The AMD64 option causes a build failure on MSVC (#1760) and the ASM builds seem to have problems:

This change also prevents these from "polluting" the cmake options if assimp is being included as a submodule.
If you have assimp installed already and in the include path (e.g. I have it via homebrew), it can pick up the wrong headers.
This forces the include order so our local ones are found first when building assimp.
Now the configs follows the standard cmake-package code: see https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/manual/cmake-packages.7.html
Downstreamer no longer have to manually specify target_include_directories with ${ASSIMP_INCLUDE_DIRS}, target_link_libraries with ${ASSIMP_LIBRARY_DIRS} and so on.
Downstreamer can now use:
find_package(assimp CONFIG REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(AWESOME_APP PUBLIC assimp::assimp)
and everything should work.
