Use cmake instead of simple make for project management.

Advantages:

• Can be opened in QtCreator
• Easier handling of dependencies
• Less overhead for installation
• Eases support for multiple platforms
• Handling 32bit and 64bit compilations independent of CMakeFile
• Much easier to build outside src folder
• Less maintenance
• Compiler can be changed without needing to change makefile

Disadvantages (apart from porting work)

• Syntax of cmake may need some time to get used to
• Extra Tool dependency for building
• Extra project preparation step (cmake call) before actual build (however there also is cmake --build)
• Build files are hidden in CMakeFiles folder
• Different variable used for defining compiler and options (CMAKE_...)

Duma does not build for gcc-6 and newer.
clang version 6 works (did not test later clang, but they may fail as well).
