#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!
