[CMake] Setting build type

[J Decker]

I use a different directory to build release and debug versions....

if you didn't delete, then when it goes to build partial things, the .obj
files will still be newer than the .c files and will cause mixed
release-debug builds which generally results in bizarre crashes.
Once chosen, can't change the build type of a build; although if you could
it should do a clean also.
