[v9,05/17] cmake: optionally build `scalar`, too

The CMake configuration unfortunately does not let us easily encapsulate
Scalar's build definition in the `contrib/scalar/` subdirectory: The
`scalar` executable needs to link in `libgit.a` and `common-main.o`, for
example.

Also, `scalar.c` includes Git's header files, which means that
`scalar.c` needs to be compiled with the very same flags as `libgit.a`
lest `scalar.o` and `libgit.a` have different ideas of, say,
`platform_SHA_CTX`, which would naturally lead to memory corruption.

To alleviate that somewhat, we guard the inclusion of Scalar via the
`INCLUDE_SCALAR` environment variable.
