[CMake] Install command incorrectly installing archive libraries

[Michael Wild]

Sorry, I misread the documentation myself. You need multiple install()
commands, for each configuration one, but after each DESTINATION option
you also need the COMPONENTS option. So, this would be something like this:

install(TARGETS first
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib/release CONFIGURATIONS Release
  LIBRARY DESTINATION lib/release CONFIGURATIONS Release
  RUNTIME DESTINATION lib/release CONFIGURATIONS Release)

install(TARGETS first
  ARCHIVE DESTINATION lib/debug CONFIGURATIONS Debug
  LIBRARY DESTINATION lib/debug CONFIGURATIONS Debug
  RUNTIME DESTINATION lib/debug CONFIGURATIONS Debug)
