C++: Make it possible to split up the C++ code generated for a .slint file

Browse source 
Add a COMPILATION_UNITS argument to slint_target_sources that defines into how many .cpp files to split up a .slint file. The new default is now one.

Use this function to tell cmake about the .slint files of your application, similar to the builtin cmake [target_sources](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_sources.html) function.

By default, a `.slint` file is compiled to a `.h` file for inclusion in your application's business logic code, and a `.cpp` file with code generated by
the slint-compier. If you want to speed up compilation of the generated `.cpp` file, then you can pass the `COMPILATION_UNITS` argument with a value greater
than 1 to create multiple `.cpp` files. These can be compiled in parallel, which might speed up overall build times. However, splitting the generated code
across multiple `.cpp` files decreases the compiler's visibility and thus ability to perform optimizations. You can also pass `COMPILATION_UNITS 0` to generate
only one single `.h` file.
