[docs] In the CMake primer, correct the description of the ARGV/ARGN variables.
ARGN is the sublist of unnamed arguments, not the count of the arguments. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@311632 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

CMake commands can have named arguments that are requried at every call site. In
addition, all commands will implicitly accept a variable number of extra
arguments (In C parlance, all commands are varargs functions). When a command is
