Add option for windows console to CMake

Description

There is a bug in CMake that affects generation of the windows console.

Currently we specify the WIN32 option that turns of the console for all modes and have lines such as 

set_target_properties( MantidPlot PROPERTIES LINK_FLAGS_DEBUG "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup" )

to bring it back. Unfortunately these are ignored with MSVC 2010 generators.

To ensure developers can get a console, as useful Qt debug informatin can show up there, add it as an explicit option in CMake.
