cmake: distinguish internal and system include directories
While we want to enforce strict C90 mode, this may cause issues with system provided header files which are themselves not strictly conforming. E.g. if a system header has C++ style comments, a compiler in strict C90 mode would produce an error and abort the build. As the user most likely doesn't want to change the system header, this would completely break the build on such systems. One example of this is mbedtls, which provides such header files. The problem can be worked around by distinguishing between system-provided and project-provided include directories. When adding include directories via "-isystem" instead of "-I", the compiler will skip certain checks and print out less warnings. To use system includes, we can simply add the "SYSTEM" flag to CMake's `INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` and `TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` functions. Note that we have to split the include directories into two variables because of this, as we definitely still want to check for all warnings produced by our own header files.
