cmake: emit warning when failing to cross-compile#1438novas0x2a merged 3 commits intobazel-contrib:mainfrom

cmake requires setting CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME to detect a cross-compile of any form (including same-os but different-processor). This means that, if an OS is not listed under _TARGET_OS_PARAMS, cross-compilation can never work on that platform; it would have silently done a native compile. This change makes it emit a warning in this case, and adds macos to the list so xcompiles work on macos.

Is there any reason not to actually fail() here?

Nope, I just did it this way for parity with the checks above, but I can make it fail if you'd prefer that
