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.

46e28960a5 The COMPATIBLE_INTERFACE does not affect the target it is set on.
Test and document this.

30268b46f8 Handle reading empty properties defined by the link interface.
This was segfaulting before.

6fbe3ce4ef Exclude the LINK_LIBRARIES related properties from INTERFACE evaluation.
These interface-related link-libraries properties are used to determine
the value of the other INTERFACE properties, so we were getting infinite
recursion and segfaults otherwise.

e98799105b Make INTERFACE determined properties readable in generator expressions.
The properties are evaluated as link-dependent interface properties when
evaluating the generator expressions.
