[CMake] Use an object library to speed up fluid build

Currently 'fluid' comes as up to three different targets, compiled
from the same source files (fluid, fluid-cmd, and fluid-shared).

The object library is built from all source files except fluid.cxx
and finally all 'fluid*' programs are linked with this library.
This avoids compiling the same source files multiple times.
