try_run: Add support for LINK_LIBRARIES option.

Most functionality is already implemented in Source/cmCoreTryCompile.{h,cxx}.
Document and improve argument parsing.

This functionality is already being used by a number of modules, like
CheckCSourceCompiles.cmake, but it is not documented.

specifies the variable where the output from the running executable
goes.
The srcfile signature also accepts a LINK_LIBRARIES argument which may
contain a list of libraries or IMPORTED targets which will be linked
to in the generated project. If LINK_LIBRARIES is specified as a
parameter to try_run, then any LINK_LIBRARIES passed as
CMAKE_FLAGS will be ignored.
For compatibility reasons OUTPUT_VARIABLE is still supported, which
gives you the output from the compile and run step combined.

option just as :command:`try_compile` already does.
