cleanup: support CMake >= 3.10 (#1544)
* cleanup: support CMake >= 3.10

This aligns the project with the CMake support policies in:

https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support

I also simplied the management of CMake policies. Most of the overriden
policies (anything <= CMP0067) are enabled by default when you require
CMake >= 3.10.  But it is easier to just declare that you will accept
newer policies when they are available using the `...3.22` notation.

# Build tool dependency policy
We follow the [Foundational C++ support policy](https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support) for our build tools. In
particular the ["Build Systems" section](https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/cplusplus-support#build-systems).
## CMake
The current supported version is CMake 3.10 as of 2023-08-10. Most modern
distributions include newer versions, for example:
* Ubuntu 20.04 provides CMake 3.16.3
* Debian 11.4 provides CMake 3.18.4
* Ubuntu 22.04 provides CMake 3.22.1
