## Summary
Declare CMake 3.15 as the lowest supported CMake version.


## Motivation
CMake is one of the main external tool we call from Conan, transparent integration and
reliability should be a priority. It is important to declare a minimum supported
version so we can run all the tests and be confident that the user will get the
expected results and no regressions will be introduced.


## Proposal
CMake 3.15 was [released on July 2019](https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases/tag/v3.15.0). Significant additions are:

* (CMake 3.14) _Visual Studio 16 2019_ generator.
* Variable `CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE` to add a file to be included after the `project()`
call. This is used by Conan toolchains.
* Variable `CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` to select the runtime library library used
when targeting MSVC ABI.
