Description

Under Platformio 4.2, when running platformio init --ide=clion I get a CMakelists.txt that starts with the following line and has numerous build targets, including ones for uploading a filesystem, rebuilding the project index, etc:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)

Under Platformio 4.3+, the cmake_minimum_version becomes <3.2 and the build targets are replaced with something unusable.

Compare the CMake generation logic between Platformio 4.2 and 4.3+ to identify changes that cause unusable outputs.
