Newer cmake's have internal functions to un-compress files. These
functions will work on pure windows - as well as linux. This
eliminates the need to search for external tools (TAR,GZIP,ZIP) - and
helps fixing #9866.
In order to finally fix#9866 we need to decide to bump the cmake
version requirements and remove the checks. If we demand a newer cmake
version, we will loose Ubuntu 20.04 as a build target - as it ships
with CMake 3.16.
For now - we keep compatibility with CMake 3.16 - and only if CMake
3.18 as been found - we use its new functionality.
We have seen some cases where the build fails for folks, and they are
missing unzip/tar/gzip etc. We can catch some of these in CMake itself,
so lets make sure to handle that uniformly across the build system.
The REQUIRED flag to `find_program` was only added on in CMake 3.18 and
above, so we can't rely on that to actually halt the program execution.
