Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin 7f3bb8b392 Add $<SEMICOLON> generator expression.
This expression is useful to put a ';' in a command line argument
without dividing the argument during CMake list expansion.

Stephen Kelly b2f1700bc7 GenEx: Add expressions to specify build- or install-only values
This is for specifying INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES relevant to the build-location
or the install location for example:

 set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY
   INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
   "$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR};${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}>"
   "$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include>"
 )

A 'bar' target can then use:

 set_property(TARGET bar PROPERTY
   INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
   "$<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>"
 )

and it will work whether foo is in the same project, or an imported target
from an installation location, or an imported target from a build location
generated by the export() command.

Because the generator expressions are only evaluated at build-time, these
new expressions are equivalent to the ZeroNode and OneNode.

The GeneratorExpression test is split into parts. Some shells can't run
the custom command as it is getting too long.
