ENH: Enable LOCATION property for imported targets

Previously we left the LOCATION property undefined for imported targets
since it should no longer be used for non-imported targets.  However, in
the case we do not know the name of an available imported configuration,
it is more readable to get the LOCATION property than LOCATION_<CONFIG>
for a bogus configuration <CONFIG>.  This enables LOCATION for imported
targets and returns an unspecified available imported configuration.
