1. Allow installing components when downstream …

   In the @acts-project we adopt an (admittedly somewhat unconventional)
   build system in which software A depends on B, and B depends on CCCL.
   The setup is that we want to install B into a prefix, and then try to
   build A against B. The problem arises is that we are using CMake to
   dynamically fetch CCCL using the so-called "FetchContent" mechanism,
   which downloads CCCL and then adds it as a subdirectory.
   
   The core problem is that installing software B which has included CCCL
   does not actually install CCCL in the same prefix, so software A cannot
   then load software B as CCCL is not installed. The reason this happens
   is that CMakeLists.txt:28 (at the time of writing) returns from the
   CMake configuration stage early, and leaves the CUB, Thrust, and
   libcudacxx directories unincluded (see lines 70 to 72).
   
   Although this is, again, an unconventional and rare scenario, it should
   be easy to add support for this kind of build, and I hope the CCCL devs
   would agree that it might be worth doing. In this commit, I remove the
   early return and replace it with additional if-statements. This commit
   should leave any existing workflows completely untouched, but should
   make it easier to use CCCL in the way we do in @acts-project.
