[CMake] CMake 3.15 fails to install on OS X

[Eric Doenges]

System Integrity Protection (SIP, introduced with macOS 10.11) prevents 
you from writing into various system directories (like /usr) even as the 
root user. You can either install cmake to a different location (like 
/usr/local, which apparently is not protected), or disable SIP entirely 
(which is not recommended). See this Wikipedia article 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Integrity_Protection> for more 
information on SIP.
