Initial cost estimate: 1 week Initial contacts: @trylek, @janvorli

From https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/42689#discussion_r494645913 :

It is kind of unfortunate that the main build script only supports single set of cmake args that it pushes to all three sub-parts (coreclr, installer, libraries). It would be nice to enhance it to enable specifying these flags separately for coreclr, installer and libraries so that we don't have to do tricks like this.

Contributor guide
