feature/unity8: failing to package gtest/gmock properly (for libqtdbustest)

I've already needed gtest/gmock before in some KDE package but failed packaging it at the time. In that case I was able to just remove the tests that needed it to make the rest at least work.

However, for the libqtdbustest application from UBPorts, it's required again (and this time it's not possible to just remove some tests). Nowadays gtest is packaged upstream, but it still doesn't work properly (for this specific package anyways). The following error shows up:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:52 (add_subdirectory):
  add_subdirectory given source "../googletest" which is not an existing
  directory.


CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:67 (config_compiler_and_linker):
  Unknown CMake command "config_compiler_and_linker".


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I can't really figure out what is causing this problem and where it's happening.

All APKBUILDs used are in the feature/unity8 branch, and specifically commit pmbootstrap@3f8b1dda.

So the error message isn't coming from the CMakeLists.txt from libqtdbustest, because it doesn't mention googletest. Instead it comes from /usr/src/gmock/CMakeLists.txt.

I think this is a bug in the gtest packaging of Alpine Linux, maybe comparing with how other distributions package gtest helps.

Sadly basically no other distro (as far as I can see) has gmock packaged (with CMakeLists.txt anyway). Arch has it packaged but their package isn't usable from other CMake projects.

It seems there are a lot of places where it assumes the gtest source is next to the gmock one, and also in different named folders. I think if we can somehow change the value of the CMake variable gtest_SOURCE_DIR to the proper location, most of the build should go through.

I'm not exactly sure what commit resolved this, but @z3ntu fixed this in the feature/unity8 branch
