Adds a SIMDJSON_INSTALL CMake option to control whether simdjson defines install rules, primarily to prevent unintended installs when simdjson is consumed via add_subdirectory() / FetchContent.
Changes:
- Introduces
SIMDJSON_INSTALLand gates all install/package export rules behind it. - Sets different defaults for
SIMDJSON_INSTALLdepending on whether simdjson is the top-level project.

Added a SIMDJSON_INSTALL cmake option to avoid installing the targets by default if the repo is imported with add_subdirectory or cmake's fetchcontet.
Description
Before all targets from simdjson would be installed together with the package of the calling repo (including static libraries and cmake files). With this it is off by default but can be turned on. This is the same approach used by fmt.
In case the repo is imported the value of the option is based on wether the libraries are static or not (it doesn't make sanse to install a static lib). Also this installed files the would confilct with packages imorting the repo the same way.
