Prevent users from misusing CMake

When CMake is invoked from the source directory it will overwrite files
in there. In general CMake expects to be used for out-of-source builds.
Previously it was still possible to get this wrong by accident, this
just adds a check to prevent this from happening and tells people what
to do instead.
