Subject: Fix build with CMake 4

CMake 4 dropped support for policies which were introduced before version
3.5. Trying to build uisng cmake 4 results in:

    Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

    Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
    to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
    to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

    Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

Just increasing minimum version to 3.18 (from 2020-07-15) fixes this
problem. This version is low enough to still support Debian bullseye or
Ubuntu 22.04.

With this version increase, following policies are enabled

* 3.18
  - CMP0108: A target cannot link to itself through an alias.
  - CMP0107: An ALIAS target cannot overwrite another target.
  - CMP0106: The Documentation module is removed.
  - CMP0105: Device link step uses the link options.
  - CMP0104: CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES now detected for NVCC, empty CUDA_ARCHITECTURES not allowed.
  - CMP0103: Multiple export() with same FILE without APPEND is not allowed.
* 3.17
  - CMP0102: mark_as_advanced() does nothing if a cache entry does not exist.
  - CMP0101: target_compile_options honors BEFORE keyword in all scopes.
  - CMP0100: Let AUTOMOC and AUTOUIC process .hh header files.
  - CMP0099: Link properties are transitive over private dependencies of static libraries.
  - CMP0098: FindFLEX runs flex in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR when executing.
* 3.16
  - CMP0097: ExternalProject_Add with GIT_SUBMODULES "" initializes no submodules.
  - CMP0096: project() preserves leading zeros in version components.
  - CMP0095: RPATH entries are properly escaped in the intermediary CMake install script.
* 3.15
  - CMP0094: FindPython3, FindPython2 and FindPython use LOCATION for lookup strategy.
  - CMP0093: FindBoost reports Boost_VERSION in x.y.z format.
  - CMP0092: MSVC warning flags are not in CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS by default.
