Pushed new branch T27022-RemoveUnusedSubprojects.

Reverted the removal as CTest still fails, probably because of no tests in superbuild projects. I think the best way to solve this is to contribute to CMake.

In CMake, Source/CTest/cmCTestTestHandler.cxx, cmCTestTestHandler::ProcessHandler(), there is a check if the sum of passed and failed tests equal zero. After another pre-check (see below), "No tests were found!!!" is logged as ERROR_MESSAGE. In Source/cmCTest.cxx, cmCTest::Log(), cmSystemTools::SetErrorOccured() is called if the log type is ERROR_MESSAGE.

The other pre-check I wrote above is "if not cmCTest::GetShowOnly() and not cmCTest::ShouldPrintLabels()". The former condition is set to true if -N/--show-only[=...] is passed as argument to CTest. The latter condition is set to true if --print-labels is passed as argument to CTest.

-N/--show-only[=...] disables the actual execution of tests.

--print-labels prints all available test labels and does not run any tests.

The only option I see is to contribute to CMake. To stay backward-compatible, we probably cannot simply change the log type from ERROR_MESSAGE to WARNING_MESSAGE or similar. I think I will propose a new argument for CTest like --no-tests=<[error|ignore]>.

Here's my CMake merge request: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/4258

Just for documentation purposes, this is how I ran my tests:

CMake-build/Tests$ RunCMake_TEST_FILTER="^ignore-no-tests" ctest -V -C Release -R '^RunCMake\.CTestCommandLine'

Merged! 🎉 Will be available in CMake 3.17.

CMake 3.17 is out now. I configured the MITK Nightlies to use CMake 3.17 from tonight on and added the new --no-tests=ignore argument to the call of CTest.

It worked. The nightlies are sunny now and the documentation was uploaded to docs.mitk.org. I changed every MITK and eMITK job to use CMake 3.17 now and passed --no-tests=ignore to CTest.
