John Szakmeister 0b2f6a0cf4 Revamp the build system.
This achieves several goals:

 * Less reliance on scripts so we have better portability to Windows
   (though we still have a ways to go for proper Windows support).
   Luajit, luarocks, moonscript, and busted are all installed via CMake
   now.
 * Trying to make use of pkg-config to get the correct libraries.  The
   latest libuv is still broken in this regard, but we'll at least be in
   a position to use it.
 * Allow the use of Ninja or make.  The former runs faster in many
   environments, and automatically makes use of parallel builds.

This also allows for system installed dependencies--though not through
the Makefile just yet--and adds support for FreeBSD.

This also make us build libuv and luajit as static libraries only, since
we're only concerned about having static libraries for our bundled
dependencies.

# Third party dependencies for neovim
This directory contains the recipes to build any third party dependencies for
neovim which, for one reason or another, we cannot rely on the system to supply.
Most of the details are captured in the `CMakeLists.txt`, but we have a
dedicated directory in case any of the dependencies requires patching and other
support.
