Document the valid signatures. Add a test for the IMPORTED GLOBAL
signature.

Stephen Kelly 3b8e56a50f Don't search for IMPORTED_LOCATION of INTERFACE_LIBRARY (14636)
The INTERFACE_LIBRARY type does not have any LOCATION at all, so
return early from GetMappedConfig. GetMappedConfig is called from
two locations, one of which already pre-checks the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
case. Remove that pre-check and handle that case inside the method
instead.

Stephen Kelly fe732264e9 Add the INTERFACE_LIBRARY target type.
This target type only contains INTERFACE_* properties, so it can be
used as a structural node. The target-specific commands enforce
that they may only be used with the INTERFACE keyword when used
with INTERFACE_LIBRARY targets. The old-style target properties
matching LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_<CONFIG> are always ignored for
this target type.

The name of the INTERFACE_LIBRARY must match a validity generator
expression. The validity is similar to that of an ALIAS target,
but with the additional restriction that it may not contain
double colons. Double colons will carry the meaning of IMPORTED
or ALIAS targets in CMake 2.8.13.

An ALIAS target may be created for an INTERFACE library.

At this point it can not be exported and does not appear in the
buildsystem and project files are not created for them. That may
be added as a feature in a later commit.

The generators need some changes to handle the INTERFACE_LIBRARY
targets returned by cmComputeLinkInterface::GetItems. The Ninja
generator does not use that API, so it doesn't require changes
related to that.
