#63830: cmake: migrate variants '+gui' and '+docs' to subports

---------------------+----------------------
 When enabling the variants for the CMake GUI and/or Docs, that results in
 a tremendous number of requisite dependencies built/installed first. And
 at some point, we may have a circular dependency issue, when those are
 enabled.

 Given that CMake is very much a foundational port, it should always have
 the bare minimum of dependencies. In order to ensure that, let's migrate
 the GUI and Docs to two separate subports. (Perhaps named `cmake-gui` and
 `cmake-docs`.)

 @michaelld, I'll do the work, if you support the idea!
