CMake: Fix selection of MSVC Runtime compile flags

My last attempt at solving this was not correct. I have left lots of comments in the source detailing the issue as it will effect consumers.

+MSVC Runtime Selection
+----------------------
+
+There are two main ways to set the msvc runtime library;
+Using ``target_compile_options()`` to add the flags
+or using the ``CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` property_ abstraction, introduced
+in CMake version 3.15 with the policy CMP0091_ to remove the flags from
+``CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>``.
+
+Default: ``CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY="MultiThreaded$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:Debug>DLL"``
+
+This initializes each target's ``MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` property at the time of
+target creation.
+
+This creates a conundrum for us, the ``CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` needs to be
+correct at the time the target is created, but we have no control over the
+consumers CMake scripts, and the per-target ``MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` property
+is not transient.
+
+We need ``CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`` to be ``"$<1:>"`` to ensure it
+will not add any flags. And then use ``target_compile_options()`` so that our
+flags will propagate to consumers.
+
+In the interests of playing nicely we detect whether we are being consumed
+and notify the consumer that we are setting ``CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY``,
+that dependent targets rely on it, and point them to these comments as to why.
