cmake: test CMake and issue error if using 3.22.1 / 3.22.2 from PyPI
Fixes: #43099
The CMake 3.22.1 / 3.22.2 PyPI version suffers a bug in the
`cmake_path(... PARENT_PATH)` implementation.
Therefore, when CMake version 3.22.1 / 3.22.2 is detected, test if the
CMake version is suffering from the bug, and in case the bug is present,
fail with an error regarding the issue.
The reason for failing, and not implementing work arounds is that Zephyr
already uses `cmake_path()` at two locations, and we cannot prevent
contributors from adding code which uses this function.
Secondly, Zephyr modules may also use `cmake_path()`, and thus be
affected by said bug.
It is impractical to implement work arounds at all possible locations
for something that is a CMake bug.
Therefore the safest solution is to test CMake itself, to check if the
version in use suffers said bug, and fail with a proper error message
if an affected CMake version is used.
