[meta-oe] libtinyxml2: use cmake buildsystem

Currently tinyxml2 is built with meson, which doesn't generate files in /usr/lib/cmake
Use cmake instead. This will generate files in both /usr/lib/cmake and /usr/lib/pkgconfig
and allow cmake projects to find libtinyxml2.

Avoids errors such as:

| CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:11 (find_package):
|   By not providing "FindTinyXML2.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
|   asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "TinyXML2",
|   but CMake did not find one.
|
|   Could not find a package configuration file provided by "TinyXML2" with any
|   of the following names:
|
|     TinyXML2Config.cmake
|     tinyxml2-config.cmake
|
|   Add the installation prefix of "TinyXML2" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
|   "TinyXML2_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
|   "TinyXML2" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
|   been installed.

| -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Fathi added support for generating both static and shared objects
since uuu static build needed. If I accept this patch then that
case breaks, if I don't then cmake based dependencies have issues.  I
guess we need to find some middle path. Perhaps offer a packageconfig
option to build static version or shared and then default to shared it fine.
