Cannot disable SFML installation targets when installing a game which includes SFML with fetch content

[eXpl0it3r]

@ChrisThrasher I know you aren't a fan of the install target/don't generally use it, but it's an issue for those using it with fetch_content.
Have you ever seen any guidelines on dealing with install targets?

@eXpl0it3r I was able to exclude things from SFML

  FetchContent_Declare(sfml
      GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/SFML/SFML.git
      GIT_TAG        2.6.1
  )

  set(CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES ${sfml_SOURCE_DIR})
  # FetchContent_MakeAvailable(sfml)
  if(NOT sfml_POPULATED)
    FetchContent_Populate(sfml)
    add_subdirectory(${sfml_SOURCE_DIR} ${sfml_BINARY_DIR} EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)
  endif()

Both CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES and EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL seem to be required

Yes, that's the correct fix, as proposed for the cmake template here: SFML/cmake-sfml-project#28

I'm closing this, as there's a way to work around it on the consumer end and with OpenAL gone, we have one less issue to worry about.

Feel free to add ideas if you think you know, how we can handle this better on the library side.
