Use CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT to cleanup CMake logging

[ghostdoglzd]

Description

Closes #4843

Problem

CMake configure logs prefix each message() with a hardcoded keyword (e.g. CUML_CPP:, CUML_PY:, CUML:, cuML:) so CI failures can be attributed to the right component. The keyword is repeated in every statement, which is error-prone and has already led to inconsistencies:

• LIBCUML_LOGGING_LEVEL used CUML: and CUML_COMPILE_DYNAMIC_ONLY used a lowercase cuML: prefix, while everything else in the same file used CUML_CPP:.
• Not cloning cuvs locally in get_cuvs.cmake had no prefix at all.

Solution

Use CMake's CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT, together with CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW, so each context keyword is declared once per scope instead of being repeated in every message():

• cpp/CMakeLists.txt pushes CUML_CPP; its messages now render as [CUML_CPP] ....
• python/cuml/CMakeLists.txt pushes CUML_PY; its messages render as [CUML_PY] ....
• get_raft.cmake, get_cuvs.cmake, get_nvforest.cmake, and ConfigureCUDA.cmake push a nested CUML context, so their messages render as [CUML_CPP.CUML] ....
• CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT_SHOW is set only in the two top-level CMake projects (cpp and python/cuml); the included third-party files inherit it and do not repeat the setting.

Special cases

• The existing lowercase cuML: prefix on the CUML_COMPILE_DYNAMIC_ONLY message is preserved as a (lowercase) nested context token, keeping the log output faithful to the original.
• The previously-unprefixed Not cloning cuvs locally message now automatically inherits the file's CUML context and renders as [CUML_CPP.CUML] Not cloning cuvs locally, making it consistent with its sibling messages without any manual text change.

Could a maintainer please add the improvement and non-breaking labels? The CI requires them. Thanks! @jcrist

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor
  • Improved build configuration messages with consistent hierarchical context labels.
  • Updated C++ and Python build steps, including CUDA and third-party component configuration, to display clearer status and diagnostic information.
  • Preserved surrounding message context after each configuration step.

Walkthrough

Changes

The C++ and Python CMake configuration now uses CMAKE_MESSAGE_CONTEXT for scoped diagnostic prefixes. C++ dependency modules append and restore the CUML context. Repeated hard-coded prefixes were removed.

Changes

CMake message context cleanup

Layer / File(s)	Summary
C++ build context and scoped messages cpp/CMakeLists.txt	The C++ build establishes CUML_CPP, uses scoped CUML and cuML contexts, and removes repeated message prefixes.
C++ module and dependency contexts cpp/cmake/modules/ConfigureCUDA.cmake, cpp/cmake/thirdparty/*	CUDA, CUVS, nvForest, and RAFT configuration uses and restores the CUML message context.
Python build context python/cuml/CMakeLists.txt	The Python build establishes and restores CUML_PY for its status messages.
