modernize cmake syntax

[mamoll]

This PR mirrors the changes in ompl/ompl#1066.

The pkg-config file ompl.pc that is generated is actually broken. The same is true for the ompl repo. I'm thinking we should just remove the png-config related stuff.

I noticed that in the ompl repo, libompl gets installed in CMAKE_INSTALL_DATAROOTDIR (i.e., /usr/share) rather than CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR (i.e. /usr/lib). That is fixed in this PR for omplapp, but if this is right, we need to make the same change in ompl.

Nice improvement!

I tried your PR in an isolated environment, and it didn't compile. After cloning and changing directory into the repo:

docker run --net host -v $(pwd):/ws -w /ws -it ubuntu:22.04 bash
apt update
apt install -y \
    build-essential libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-program-options-dev \
    cmake libeigen3-dev libassimp-dev libfcl-dev
cmake -B build/Release
cmake --build build/Release/ --parallel $(nproc)

Note I use slightly different build instructions rather than calling make directly, but it works much the same, with less typing.

The docker build error looks to me like libassimp-dev's Debian package is broken and doesn't declare a dependency on zlib1g-dev. Once you install the later, the build succeeds
