As a WT developer, I want to be able to compile the wiredtiger library target (libwiredtiger[.a,.so]), the Python API and C/C++ tests using CMake for x86, Arm64, Power8, and ZSeries architectures.

Definition of done:

• Can invoke CMake in the wiredtiger repository. This should be able to successfully configure/generate a Ninja build on:
  • Linux & Darwin environments
  • For supported architectures: x86, Arm64, Power8, ZSeries
  • For supported compilers: GCC & Clang
• Supports static and shared library builds
• Supports the different extension configurations (e.g  compressors)
• Working ninja build that successfully creates a libwiredtiger[.a,.so] file
• Support compiling Python API
• Support compiling C/C++ tests
• Updated documentation for new architectures (if needed) on how to build library with CMake (e.g. README) 
• Autoconf/Libtool build still works as expected (should co-exist in tree) 

How to do?

Update/extend the CMake scripts created in WT-7230 to configure, build, and compile the wiredtiger library for the Arm64, Power8, and ZSeries architectures.
