Policy CMP0026 deprecated the LOCATION property, and we have long
provided a $<TARGET_FILE:...> generator expression. However, if
a project tries to use $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,LOCATION> we should
at least not crash.
The compatibility implementation of the LOCATION property uses
cmGlobalGenerator::CreateGenerationObjects to create the structures
needed to evaluate the property before generation starts. The
implementation assumed that accessing the property could only be done
during configuration (via the typical get_property command use case).
The $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,LOCATION> genex causes the LOCATION property
to be accessed during generation. Calling CreateGenerationObjects
during generation blows away all the objects currently being used for
generation and is not safe. Add a condition to call it only when
configuration is not finished.
