[SECP256K1] CMake: Fix in-tree build

Details

Summary

The in-tree build is broken when building with CMake.
This is because the "standard" CMake call pattern has a dual meaning
depending on the context: the path argument is eigher the source root
(which is what we want) OR the build root if a build already exists
in this path.
This second case occurs when building in-tree as the source root is also
the build root; as a consequence when configuring the native executables
to generate the build tree to the native directory, the root build
files are updated instead.

Macro notabug:

This diff fixes the issue by specifiying both the source root and build
root when calling CMake to configure the native executables. The build
directory is created by CMake if needed, so the initial mkdir becomes
useless and is removed.

Test Plan

Build the secp256k1 project both in-tree and out-of-tree.

Did you run it and failed to rebuild ? Because it's working for me.

If you're worried about the mkdir removal, the directory is created by CMake if it doesn't exist thanks to the -B option.
