[CMake] Find out which build type is currently used

[norulez]

I want to set the debug prefix on windows when I build in debug mode, so I check if Debug is in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE.
I use both, Visual Studio and the MinGW compiler

For multi-configuration generators (VisualStudio, Xcode, etc.), you simply can't know at CMake-time, since the user can change the selection before hitting the build button.
