Add a library alias for linkage when built in-tree

This lets the end-user link against the same sago::platform_folders as if they had used find_package..
Even when they build the code in-tree, versus using find_package, which actually imports the lib.

Alternatively, you can just copy the [sago](https://github.com/sago007/PlatformFolders/tree/master/sago) folder into your program and manually link everything.

If you use the last option and are using a library version from before 4.0.0: Remember to link to the CoreServices lib when compiling on Mac. This typically means passing "-framework CoreServices" during the linking phase.

+Note that if you build in-tree, you can link against the Cmake alias `sago::platform_folders` just like if you had used find_package.
