CMake: Fix windres issues again. 

At least on some systems, GNU windres needs --use-temp-file
in addition to the \x20 hack to avoid spaces in the command line
argument. Hovever, that \x20 syntax is broken with llvm-windres
version 15.0.0 (results in "XZx20Utils") but luckily it works
with a regular space. Thus it is best to limit the workarounds
to GNU toolchain on Windows.

# String for PACKAGE_NAME macro in the C code and Windows resource files:
# windres from GNU binutils can be tricky with command line arguments

# windres from GNU binutils can be a bit tricky with command line arguments
# that contain spaces or other funny characters because it will pass them
# to a shell (cmd.exe or /bin/sh). CMake doesn't seem to handle the quoting
# well enough either. Using \x20 to encode the US-ASCII space seems to work:
# it should be compatible with both shell types, it works also with llvm-rc,
# and CMake handles quoting the backslash too.
# However, even \x20 isn't enough in all situations, resulting in
# "syntax error" from windres. Using --use-temp-file prevents windres
# from using popen() and this seems to fix the problem.
#
# For simplicity, use this workaround in all cases on Windows as it should
# do no harm with other toolchains. Outside Windows use a regular space as
# then we are compatible with EBCDIC too (if it will ever matter with CMake;
# EBCDIC compatibility is important with the Autotools-based build though).
if(WIN32)
# llvm-windres claims to be compatible with GNU windres but with that
# the \x20 results in "XZx20Utils" in the compiled binary. (At the
# same time it works correctly with clang (the C compiler).) The option
# --use-temp-file makes no difference.
#
# CMake 3.25 doesn't have CMAKE_RC_COMPILER_ID so we rely on
# CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID. If Clang is used together with GNU windres
# then it will fail, but this way the risk of a bad string in
# the binary should be fairly low.
if(WIN32 AND CMAKE_C_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU")
# Use workarounds with GNU windres. The \x20 in PACKAGE_NAME works
# with gcc too so we don't need to worry how to pass different flags
# to windres and gcc.
