Building HElib with HEXL installed via vcpkg fails #460

I'm running into some errors linking to vcpkg-built HEXL from within HElib. Looks like it stems from (https://github.com/homenc/HElib/blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt#L312-L320), which assumes libhexl.a includes all its dependencies. While this is true for a CMake build of HEXL, this is true is NOT true when building from vcpkg. In particular, CpuFeatures is linked to and not included in the static lib.

Something like target_link_libraries(helib PRIVATE $<TARGET_PROPERTY:HEXL::hexl,INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES>) would need to be added to the HElib CMakeLists.txt to properly link CpuFeatures (though this change by itself causes some other errors)

To reproduce,

vcpkg install hexl

cd /home/fboemer/repos/helibproject/HElib/build
cmake .. -DUSE_INTEL_HEXL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./ -DHEXL_DIR=/home/fboemer/repos/vcpkg/packages/hexl_x64-linux/share/HEXL -DENABLE_TEST=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCpuFeatures_DIR=/home/fboemer/repos/vcpkg/packages/cpu-features_x64-linux/share/CpuFeatures
