Allow findinging XercesC with CMake's FindXercesC.cmake.

This avoids explicitly specifying the library path for
regularly installed versions of XercesC.
Alternatively, the path needs to be specified only once
by adding the path to XercesC to CMake's search paths
with -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH=<Xerces install path>.

+The XercesC xml parsing library is the only requirement compiling and using libcitygml. Please use a version > 3.1 compiled with an SDK that is compatible with C++11. If the library is not found by CMake use `-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH=<XercesC install path>`.
 
 OpenGL is required if you want to use the tesselator provided in the project. Otherwise, you can provide another implementation by inheriting TesselatorBase, or not use tesselation. Set the cmake option "LIBCITYGML_USE_OPENGL" to OFF to disable the use of OpenGL.
