[CMake] include restbed in my project

[Christofer Jennings]

Thanks for the reply. I haven't figured out how to use add_subdirectories
like you suggested but I was able to get it working based on this
https://github.com/josesj/rest-json-cpp-boilerplate

It uses find_package and etc. ... maybe a little overkill, I don't know.
But at least I got off the ground. :)
