[Insight-developers] CMake variable name inconsistencies

[Bill Lorensen]

I added the Module_ITKV3_Compatibility module and logic. I do not know
how to have the module option turn on the ITKV3_COMPATIBILITY flag.
Therefore, I put out the error message.

As for the name, ITKV3_COMPATIBILITY, I also chose it. It could be
changed I guess, unless we expect to have other ITKV3_ variables in
the future.
