Patch

Compiling SDL without DIRECTX in cmake causes the following linker error in Visual Studio even when DirectX is unused:

LNK1104	cannot open file 'dxerr.lib'

Apparently dxerr was removed in Windows SDK 8.0 or higher as explained here: https://walbourn.github.io/wheres-dxerr-lib

This was fixed in SDL in 2008 as of https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/02aa80d7905f however some leftovers were not removed in cmake.

The attached patch fixes it.
