Export compile commands JSON by default

Ryan Quinn requested to merge rquinn/YARR:export-compile-commands-by-default into devel

Lots of VSCode C++ extensions use a compile_commands.json file to figure out include paths etc...

Normally a user has to manually add -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON to their build command to get CMake to export this file. This MR makes this happen by default by setting the variable inside CMakeLists.txt. The compile_commands.json file gets generated in the build directory so it shouldn't get in anyone's way, so I think it's reasonable to have this option set by default.
