[CMake] Add support for Metro apps

[Minmin Gong]

Here comes a new version of this patch. In this version, ARM are also
supported. Modifications include:
1. Determine MSVC ARM compiler.
   Cmake can determine and test VC's x86-arm compiler correctly, and mark
it as cross compiling. This feature is inspired by Martell Malone's patch
in http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13511#c32952.
2. Modify ARM's utility project to Win32 configuration.
   Utility projects, such as ALL_BUILD and ZERO_CHECKS, can't be win store
or ARM configuration. They are changed to Win32 by default.

With this patch, any configuration targeting WinRT platform should be
supported. The project files can be generated, built and depolyed well.

> VS_WINRT_EXTENSIONS is on.
> 2. Recognize AppxManifest file type.
> 3. A dedicated boolean source file property "VS_WINRT_CONTENT" is added.
> Generator expressions is also supported here.
> 4. Add "Deploy.0" in .sln for deploy WinRT apps by default, as WinCE apps
> do.
> 5. Add PackageCertificateKeyFile tag to vcxproj for package certification.
>
> After that, an app with x86 or x64 configuration can be correctly built an
> packed. Do you have some more suggestions about this feature?
> Thanks.
