Use CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR from GNUInstallDirs instead of GZ_LIB_INSTALL_DIR, which won't be available if only building python bindings. Signed-off-by: Steve Peters <scpeters@openrobotics.org>

I'm afraid about keeping this number in sync with bumps. As a workaround we can put a comment in the main CMakeLists.txt pointing to here. In the mid-term, it would be nice to integrate our CMake code to grab the version/name from git directly, probably using something like https://github.com/LecrisUT/CMakeExtraUtils/blob/main/cmake/DynamicVersion.md

I am not a big fan of using git for version information as fails for tarballs. Something a bit ugly but effective could be to grep the major version from the parent folder CMakeLists.txt .

or we could extract the version numbers from package.xml, since we also have a workflow to keep those versions in sync

It would be nice if we can move the find_package logic from the main CMakeLists.txt to here so we don't have a duplicate logic.

I've moved the find_package(pybind11) call here in 06b8ab8 using the CMAKE_REQUIRE_FIND_PACKAGE_pybind11 variable to support finding it as an optional or required package depending on the context.
It's tricky to move the find_package(Python3) call to this folder because the Development component can be optional or required, depending on the context, but the FindPython3 module doesn't support CMAKE_REQUIRE_FIND_PACKAGE_* for its components. So I just left the find_package(Python3) code as is

Moves find_package(pybind11) call to src/python_pybind11 folder. When invoked through the root CMakeLists.txt, it treats pybind11 as an optional dependency, but when invoked from that folder, it treats it as required by setting CMAKE_REQUIRE_FIND_PACKAGE_pybind11 to TRUE.

🎉 New feature
Part of osrf/homebrew-simulation#2834
Summary
This allows the
src/python_pybind11/CMakeLists.txtfile to be built as a top-level cmake project against an external gz-math library. The first commit (646de60) is a patch from @traversaro used in conda, and the second commit (d2bae80) replaces theGZ_LIB_INSTALL_DIRcmake variable withCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR(see GzPackaging.cmake:111) sinceGZ_LIB_INSTALL_DIRis not defined with the minimal cmake project added in 646de60.Test it
