Summary:                    cmake should support ninja's "console" pool
Description: 
Now that ninja has a "console" pool feature, CMake should be making use of this
for certain operations. For example, the install step, and re-run CMake steps
should almost certainly use it unconditionally. (Also packaging steps, if it is
trivial to identify such.)

It would be helpful to also expose this in a way that users can make selective
use of it, e.g. for a custom command. (In particular, I'd like to see it used
when building external projects, although this probably needs to be controllable
by the user building a project e.g. via a CMake option.)
