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.

In the implementation of "cmake -E cmake_link_script", skip lines from
the input file that are empty or contain only whitespace. Do not try to
run a child with no command line.
The Config and IMPORTED_ variants may also contain generator
expressions.
If 'the implementation is the interface', then the result of
evaluating the expressions at generate time is used to populate
the IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property.
1) In the case of non-static libraries, this is fine because the
user still has the option to populate the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES
with generator expressions if that is what is wanted.
2) In the case of static libraries, this prevents a footgun,
enforcing that the interface and the implementation are really
the same.
Otherwise, the LINK_LIBRARIES could contain a generator
expression which is evaluated with a different context at build
time, and when used as an imported target. That would mean that the
result of evaluating the INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES property for
a static library would not necessarily be the 'link implementation'.
For example:
add_library(libone STATIC libone.cpp)
add_library(libtwo STATIC libtwo.cpp)
add_library(libthree STATIC libthree.cpp)
target_link_libraries(libtwo
$<$<STREQUAL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:TYPE>,STATIC_LIBRARY>:libone>)
target_link_libraries(libthree libtwo)
If the LINK_LIBRARIES content was simply copied to the
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES, then libthree links to libone, but
executables linking to libthree will not link to libone.
3) As the 'implementation is the interface' concept is to be
deprecated in the future anyway, this should be fine.
Now that we're processing a LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES string, it
can contain targets. Make sure they are extracted for
namespacing purposes.
This needs to be restricted to strings which can actually have
targets named in them. For example, this is not done for
INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS, because even if there is a target
named 'foo', the string 'foo' in that property means that '-Dfoo'
will be set when compiling.

This allows a dependee to inform a target that it should have its
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property set to ON, or OFF. The value of
the POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property, if set, must be consistent
with any INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE properties on dependees.
Add a test covering the consistency checks on platforms where they run.
This new method checks that the property FOO on a target is consistent
with the INTERFACE_FOO properties of its dependees. If they are not the
consistent, an error is reported. 'Consistent' means that iff the
property is set, it must have the same boolean value as all other
related properties.
This makes
set(CMAKE_BUILD_INTERFACE_INCLUDES ON)
add the equivalent of
set_property(TARGET tgt APPEND PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}>
)
to every target.
If the headers are in CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR, and the generated headers
are in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR, this is a convenient way to build a target
bar, which depends on foo, just by using target_link_libraries() and adding
the INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES to the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES of the target
being linked. There will be more-convenient porcelain API to consume the
property in the future.
This makes it possible to use:
target_link_libraries(foo LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES bar)
where foo is an IMPORTED target. Other tll() signatures are not
allowed.
Previously we kept direct link dependencies in OriginalLinkLibraries.
The property exposes the information in the CMake language through the
get/set_property commands. We preserve the OriginalLinkLibraries value
internally to support old APIs like that for CMP0003's OLD behavior, but
the property is now authoritative. This follows up from commit d5cf644a
(Split link information processing into two steps, 2012-11-01).
This will be used later to populate the link interface properties when
exporting targets, and will later allow use of generator expressions
when linking to libraries with target_link_libraries.
Also make targets depend on the (config-specific) union of dependencies.
CMake now allows linking to dependencies or not depending on the config.
However, generated build systems are not all capable of processing
config-specific dependencies, so the targets depend on the union of
dependencies for all configs.
The 'head' is the dependent target to be linked with the current target.
It will be used to evaluate generator expressions with proper handling
of mapped configurations and is used as the source target of properties.
This requires that memoization is done with a key of a pair of target
and config, instead of just config, because now the result also depends
on the target. Removing the memoization entirely is not an option
because it slows cmake down considerably.
