Use project-related Cmake variables to simplify CMakeLists.txt in the applications

See how the variables PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR and PROJECT_BINARY_DIR behave.

We have only one project so:
PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR is the folder where you clone the code
PROJECT_BINARY_DIR is the folder where you put the binaries

We also have all the Projects in the applications, so I believe we can use those two variables to simplify all of them, and avoid to explicitly write down the name of the folder in the application CMakeLists.txt.

Simplified all application Cmakelists.txt, and made a unique macro for applications and tests instead of two.
