[CMake] iPhone, Xcode, EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME and CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR

[Pieter Scholtz]

I tried CMake 2.8.1 and it seems this problem has been resolved although I
could not find mention of it in the changelog. It appears as though the
output directories of the Xcode targets are now set explicitly by CMake to
$(BUILD_DIR)/{Release,Debug,etc}/, removing the EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_NAME from
the path. This works for me as I generate separate Xcode projects for device
and simulator.
