CMake 4 no longer supports versions older than 3.5, and versions between 3.5-3.10 are deprecated. This updates the minimum required version to 3.10 to ensure compatibility with modern CMake versions. This issue is already affecting NixOS users (see NixOS/nixpkgs#449826) and will likely impact other distributions as they upgrade to CMake 4.x. Fixes compatibility with CMake 4.x

Add a proper patch that updates all CMakeLists.txt files to require CMake 3.10 instead of 3.0. This approach is preferred as it fixes the issue at the source and can be carried as a patch until merged upstream.
