From 3e8111aaee070dc9b5d51cab3fd44ff88841f63e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: Make build system usable as a git submodule

Replace CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR/CMAKE_BINARY_DIR with PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR/
PROJECT_BINARY_DIR so paths resolve correctly from add_subdirectory().
Guard global settings (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD, CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH,
qt_standard_project_setup, demo) behind PROJECT_IS_TOP_LEVEL.
Export OPEN62541_INSTALL_DIR and QTOPCUA_INSTALL_DIR as CACHE INTERNAL
so parent projects can set up RPATH and plugin paths.
