[CMake] different test cases

[Daniel Blezek]

We took a slightly different approach, which may be the same in spirit.

In CMake, we have a flag "RUN_LONG_TESTS".  This flag is used to add or
remove tests that the developer deemed "long".  The long tests are only run
on dashboard machines in our nightly builds.  The remaining short tests are
run by all developers and our continuous builds.  This way our developers
can run the tests in < 1 minutes while the entire test suite takes > 10
minutes.
