[CMake] add_test() and DEBUG_POSTFIX

[Martin Baute]

I did not get any feedback on this, so please excuse me asking again:

Is it by design that adding a DEBUG_POSTFIX to executables makes CMake
miss those very same executables when running "make test"?

It is a bit awkward having to chose between either:

A) having no postfix with executables, i.e. debug executables 
overwriting
release executables on installation

or

B) not having "make test" work properly when building anything else but
the default / release build type.
