Botond Dénes 5886d1841a Merge 'cmake: align CMake build system with configure.py and add comparison script' from Ernest Zaslavsky
Every time someone modifies the build system — adding a source file, changing a compilation flag, or wiring a new test — the change tends to land in only one of our two build systems (configure.py or CMake). Over time this causes three classes of problems:

1. **CMake stops compiling entirely.** Missing defines, wrong sanitizer flags, or misplaced subdirectory ordering cause hard build failures that are only discovered when someone tries to use CMake (e.g. for IDE integration).

2. **Missing build targets.** Tests or binaries present in configure.py are never added to CMake, so `cmake --build` silently skips them. This PR fixes several such cases (e.g. `symmetric_key_test`, `auth_cache_test`, `sstable_tablet_streaming`).

3. **Missing compilation units in targets.** A `.cc` file is added to a test binary in one system but not the other, causing link errors or silently omitted test coverage.

To fix the existing drift and prevent future divergence, this series:

**Adds a build-system comparison script**
(`scripts/compare_build_systems.py`) that configures both systems into a temporary directory, parses their generated `build.ninja` files, and compares per-file compilation flags, link target sets, and per-target libraries. configure.py is treated as the baseline; CMake must match it. The script supports a `--ci` mode suitable for gating PRs that touch
build files.

**Fixes all current mismatches** found by the script:
- Mode flag alignment in `mode.common.cmake` and `mode.Coverage.cmake`
  (sanitizer flags, `-fno-lto`, stack-usage warnings, coverage defines).
- Global define alignment (`SEASTAR_NO_EXCEPTION_HACK`, `XXH_PRIVATE_API`,
  `BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK`, `SEASTAR_TESTING_MAIN` placement).
- Seastar build configuration (shared vs static per mode, coverage
  sanitizer link options).
- Abseil sanitizer flags (`-fno-sanitize=vptr`).
- Missing test targets in `test/boost/CMakeLists.txt`.
- Redundant per-test flags now covered by global settings.
- Lua library resolution via a custom `cmake/FindLua.cmake` using
  pkg-config, matching configure.py's approach.

**Adds documentation** (`docs/dev/compare-build-systems.md`) describing how to run the script and interpret its output.

No backport needed — this is build infrastructure improvement only.
