Stephen Kelly 3e30d9ed67 TLL: Don't populate old link interface if CMP0022 is NEW.
Always populate the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES for interface
entries. Don't populate the old interface properties
matching (IMPORTED_)?LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES(_<CONFIG>)?
if CMP0022 is NEW.

Because the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property is now populated by
the target_link_libraries when operating on a static library,
make an equivalent change which populates the property with
the same value when the old link_libraries() command is used. This
silences the policy warning in that case.

Brad King 2618e0257e target_link_libraries: Update usage requirements documentation
Re-word the documentation to make clear that CMake integrates usage
requirements during generation and not synchronously during
configuration or execution of target_link_libraries.

Stephen Kelly 77cecb778f Add includes and compile definitions with target_link_libraries.
This establishes that linking is used to propagate usage-requirements
between targets in CMake code. The use of the target_link_libraries
command as the API for this is chosen because introducing a new command
would introduce confusion due to multiple commands which differ only in
a subtle way.

Brad King f032fb904b target_link_libraries: Document that new sigs privatize old (#13876)
Explain in the documentation for the legacy signature

 target_link_libraries(foo bar)

that the other signatures like

 target_link_libraries(foo LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES ...)
 target_link_libraries(foo LINK_PRIVATE ...)

will set the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES target property and therefore make
libraries specified only by the legacy signature private.

Stephen Kelly 1da75022bb Don't include generator expressions in old-style link handling.
Don't add generator expressions to variables which are used
for CMP0003, CMP0004, and the old-style _LIB_DEPENDS content. They
will not be evaluated when read anyway and would probably confuse
the code reading them.

This makes it legitimate to use target_link_libraries with generator
expressions as arguments.

Brad King 999ce0aa9c Document target_link_libraries target scope (#11058)
The target_link_libraries command requires its first argument to be a
target in the current directory.  Document this and update the error
message to be more specific.  While at it, format the error message with
a call stack.

Brad King 96afb12087 Convert CMake to OSI-approved BSD License
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License.  We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked.  We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.

configurations.

Brad King 94c1fe83fd ENH: Make link interface mode more distinct
Rename the recently added INTERFACE mode of the target_link_libraries()
command to LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES.  This makes it much more distinct
from a normal call to the command, and clearly states its connection to
the property of the same name.  Also require the option to appear
immediately after the target name to make it a mode rather than an
option.

Brad King e322d288af ENH: Simple specification of link interfaces
Create an INTERFACE option to the target_link_libraries command to help
set the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES and LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_DEBUG
properties.  This will help users specify link interfaces using
variables from Find*.cmake modules that include the 'debug' and
'optimized' keywords.

Brad King 40fc9174e2 ENH: Tolerate repeated link library types
The "debug", "optimized", and "general" link library type specifier
arguments to the target_link_library commands are sometimes repeated in
user code due to variable expansion and other complications.  Instead of
silently accepting the duplicates and trying to link to a bogus library
like "optimized.lib", warn and ignore the earlier specifiers.

Brad King 22c62c9e65 BUG: Sweeping changes to cleanup computation of target names. This should
fix many bugs related to target names being computed inconsistently.

- Centralized computation of a target's file name to a method in
  cmTarget.  Now that global knowledge is always available the
  *_CMAKE_PATH cache variables are no longer needed.

- Centralized computation of link library command lines and link
  directory search order.

- Moved computation of link directories needed to link CMake targets
  to be after evaluation of linking dependencies.

This also removed alot of duplicate code in which each version had its
own bugs.

This commit is surrounded by the tags

  CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-pre

and

  CMake-TargetNameCentralization1-post

so make the large set of changes easy to identify.
