[CMake] Make it possible to pass existing CLAD_SOURCE_DIR

This would address two annoyances I have at the same time:

  1. One can now clone both `root` and `clad`, linking the source
     directories together. This makes it much easier to try out changes
     in clad in the context of ROOT.

  2. ROOT can now configure and build without an internet connection,
     even with `Dclad=ON`. This partially addresses #11603.
