Help: Reference TARGET_FILE genex in add_custom_command docs (#15605)

Browse Source 
When documenting in the COMMAND option how to reference an executable,
we previously only explicitly covered how to do it for argv[0] and left
it to the reader to follow the reference to the generator expressions
manual.  Add explicit mention of the TARGET_FILE genex in this
documentation since it will be a commonly used generator expression in
this context.
