Help: Add `preset` role

Add a new CMake domain role for referencing fields in CMake presets.
This has two main purposes. First, it replaces generic references (which
were excessively long and required explicit titles) and acts as an
improved version of the `ref` role by allowing the always-present
`CMakePresets.` prefix to be elided. Second, unlike generic references
which silently degrade to broken links that are only caught by
`linkcheck`, broken references are flagged immediately in regular Sphinx
builds. Therefore, this both improves presentation by bringing line
lengths back under control, and reduces errors by making bad references
immediately detectable.

There is also a small change in rendering, as field references are now
rendered as literals. This is consistent with how fields are mentioned
in prose when they are not linked.
