    SuperBuild: rename patches with a specific 'unstandard' naming convention. · a97c10c1

    This style of naming can later be used to automate patching for
    dependencies. For instance take the case of gdal.
    the name of current patch is gdal-fix-rpath-for-macx.diff
    This will imply that project is GDAL patch description is
    second part 'fix-rpath' and for-macx.diff says that
    it is only for macx.
    Later (in future) cmake can use if(APPLE), if(WIN32),
    if(UNIX and NOT APPLE) and see if the name of diff file
    matches for-macx, for-win32, for-linux and apply it accordingly.
    The project name prefix seems redundant at first look.
    But later this can pave way to have all .diff patches in a
    single directory under superbuild rather than each one in sub-directory
    named 'project'. The former can help in case of libraries like FFTW
    where it builds two projects FFTWF and FFTWD.
