The CMake files aren't _needed_, but they're provided upstream and
downstream projects that use cppzmq and CMake expect them to be there,
and it feels like an unnecessary friction to need to patch/override the
buildsystem of downstream projects to get round us shipping the headers
but not the other parts of the cppzmq distribution.

As observed, I don't know ZMQ that well, so I'm not trying to force
anything if you really don't think this is good idea, but from my
perspective either including the cmake files in libzmq3-dev or splitting
cppzmq into a separate source package which ships them would seem to be a
usability improvement.
