CMake plugin: Enable find_library etc. to find in stage directory
Metadata
Current evaluation
CMake staged-library discovery was merged in canonical/snapcraft#345 (commits 1673a17a5 and a0ba21e76), resolving LP #1550778.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The maintainer linked merged PR canonical/snapcraft#345 as the solution. It added stage-aware CMake environment variables so find_library and similar commands can discover staged libraries and files.

Issue body
CMake's find_library (and similar commands) use environment variables to determine its search paths. However, the CMake plugin doesn't take advantage of these, thus requiring snap authors to always pass them in manually if their part depends on one in the stage directory.
