[CMake] Feature request: force static libs in find_library()

[Jed Brown]

Add a flag to make find_library() only resolve to static libs and a
global switch to force this for all find_library() calls.

If I want to build a static executable on a system with both shared and
static libraries, my current solution is to run

  sed -i 's/\.so\>/.a/g' CMakeCache.txt

but this is obviously a hack.  My usage case is building an executable
to be run on a cluster where all the shared libs are not available on
all the nodes.
