cmake: Enable APPEND_*FLAGS only for command-line generators

Command-line build tool generators are the only ones that support
low-level rule variables. IDE build tool generators, such as "Visual
Studio" and "Xcode", do not utilize these variables when creating
project files.

This change ensures that CMake warns users if any of the
`SECP256K1_APPEND_*FLAGS` options are set while using an unsupported
generator.
