In commit v3.5.0-rc1~43^2 (Fix export of STATIC library PRIVATE
dependencies with CMP0022 NEW, 2016-01-15) we taught
target_link_libraries to generate `$<LINK_ONLY:$<TARGET_NAME:dep>>` in
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES instead of `$<LINK_ONLY:dep>` so that `dep` can
be recognized as a target name and updated during export. However, this
approach does not work when `dep` is just a plain library name and not a
target because `$<TARGET_NAME:...>` requires the name of a reachable
target.
Since we do not know during target_link_libraries whether the name will
correspond to a reachable target or not, we cannot inject the
`$<TARGET_NAME:...>` expression. Revert this change and solve the
original problem instead by teaching the export logic to recognize and
update target names directly in `$<LINK_ONLY:...>` expressions.

Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:
tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.5.rst
git rm -- Help/release/dev/*
except the sample topic:
git checkout HEAD -- Help/release/dev/0-sample-topic.rst
Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.
While evaluating `if(MATCHES)` we get a `const char*` pointer to the
string to be matched. On code like
if(CMAKE_MATCH_COUNT MATCHES "Y")
the string to be matched may be owned by our own result variables.
We must move the value to our own buffer before clearing them.
Otherwise we risk reading freed storage.
The add_custom_command(TARGET) signature only works for targets defined
in the current directory. Clarify this in the error message when the
target exists but was defined elsewhere.

Imported targets are now the recommended way of dealing with external
library dependencies. Add one for FindPNG and update documentation
accordingly. Also add a test case activated by CMake_TEST_FindPNG.
