Adds ability to have out-of-tree uORB message definitions

If the EXTERNAL_MODULES_LOCATION variable has been set, and the
EXTERNAL_MODULES_LOCATION/msg/ directory exists containing a
CMakeLists.txt file with the following format:
    set(config_msg_list_external
      message1.msg
      message2.msg
      message3.msg
      ...
      PARENT_SCOPE
      )
then the messages defined in config_msg_list_external are added to the
msg_files list in Firmware/msg/CMakeLists.txt and are used to generate uORB
message headers. The generate uORB message headers are generated in the same
location as the normal uORB message headers in the build directory, namely,
<build_dir>/uORB/topics. The uORB topic sources are generated in
<build_dir>/msg/topics_sources.
