Description
### Brief Issue Summary
When use `CMake` in my project, I want to install both `Debug/Release`. Then, I need to set `CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX=d`. However, I can not set `CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX=d` in `Edit CMake Cache UI`. Hope `CMake` can add this feature.

Research direction
Start by locating the Edit CMake Cache UI entry point and how it reads and writes CMake cache entries. Reproduce the inability to add CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX, then verify that a new cache entry can be added and persisted for a CMake project.
