Subject: [PATCH] cmake: flatten build tree, tidy up base dir variables

- drop `generated` subdir, move these files to build root.
  To move them next to CPack and other config files, and to avoid
  a subdirectory for only 2 files.
  Follow-up to 69328490fc91bfa00a6a90da84239524b01f5527 #2849

- add 'Consumed variables' comment for `CMake/cmake_uninstall.in.cmake`.

- move generated `cmake_uninstall.cmake` to the build root directory
  (from `CMake/`). To:
  - avoid creating a `CMake` subdirectory within the build directory
    with this single file in it.
  - move it next to its `cmake_install.cmake` counterpart.
  - move it next to `install_manifest.txt` which it relies on.

  Follow-up to 27e2a4733c3321fb0b1a127360e8e96bc3d4ae53

- Use `PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR` for these files, replacing
  `CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`, to make it consistent with rest of CMake
  sources, and to reduce ambiguity in `CMake/cmake_uninstall.in.cmake`
  template.

Follow-up to 8198e388d31919ec610908d496d34ced2daf4fea #22188
Follow-up to 4839029645bae1ff7f17e0f1c7543bc3eb30f471 #22187
Follow-up to 9126eb5a8ad96f156586942facb069383a09c046 #15331

Closes #22192
