CMake: omit WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE from bpy_module.cmake
Since this was added, Linux libraries have been included in `../lib/`.
This made `make bpy` on Linux install the `bpy` module into the bundled
SVN libraries which isn't very useful.
Now leave WITH_INSTALL_PORTABLE unset (defaulting to ON).
Python developers may reference their systems Python and disable the
option if they wish for a system-wide module installation.
