This version (4) will use the CMake facilities for finding threads and link that so that you don't have to remember to do it yourself.

Tested under CMake 3.12 on Linux.

Finding the Threads package is REQUIRED, so maybe it would be more defensive to make the linkage to GBench::gbench (L57) unconditional. It would be better to have CMake die with a clear reason than to get a linker error later.
