Add cmake option to choose whether to use the builtin demangler

Details

Summary

Previously the builting demangler was on for platforms that explicitly set a flag by modifying
Mangled.cpp (windows, freebsd). The Xcode build always used builtin demangler by passing a
compiler flag. This adds a cmake flag (defaulting to ON) to configure the demangling library used
at build time. The flag is only available on non-windows platforms as there the system demangler
is not present (in the form we're trying to use it, at least).
The impact of this change is:

  • linux: switches to the builtin demangler
  • freebsd, windows: NFC (I hope)
  • netbsd: switches to the builtin demangler
  • osx cmake build: switches to the builtin demangler (matching the XCode build)

The main motivation for this is the cross-platform case, where it should bring more consistency
by removing the dependency on the host demangler (which can be completely unrelated to the debug
target).

@krytarowski: I thought I'd switch netbsd as well, as all the other platforms are doing it already. However, if you want to stick with the system demangler by default, I can easily change it to OFF ...

Looks good to me.

Thanks, I need to take a closer look at it.

Looks OK for NetBSD. @joerg are you fine with this?
