CMake: Configuration failure with ++ in abs path

[ptheywood]

When cpplint is found and enabled, configuring cmake within a directory containing ++ character in the path results in a regular expression compilation failure at:

FLAMEGPU2/cmake/cpplint.cmake

Line 52 in 86197b6

list(FILTER SRC EXCLUDE REGEX "^${FLAMEGPU_ROOT}/externals/.*")

We will need to somehow escape the offending ++ (and other patterns that woudl need escaping" from ${FLAMEGPU_ROOT}.

This would also need applying tyo any other CMake Regex use, which uses a path as the filter, or a user-supplied filter (if any)

Recommendation from CMake's Brad

string(REGEX REPLACE "([][+.*()^])" "\\\\\\1" regex "${string}")

All cases of REGEX found within CMake dir, only first 5 are user dependent (unless we expect our version strings to contain special chars).
