Stephen Kelly 8ed59fc207 Add target_compile_features command.
This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular
targets. An error is issued at CMake time if the compiler does not
support the required feature. If a language dialect flag is required
by the features used, that will be added automatically.

Base the target_compile_features command on cmTargetPropCommandBase. This
gives us 'free' handling of IMPORTED, ALIAS, INTERFACE, non-compilable
and missing targets.

Stephen Kelly 5412deded1 cmTarget: Transitively evaluate compiler features.
Extend the interface of the target_compile_features command with
PUBLIC and INTERFACE keywords. Populate the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property if they are set. Consume the INTERFACE_COMPILER_FEATURES
target property from linked dependent targets to determine the final
required compiler features and the compile flag, if needed.

Use the same pattern of origin-debugging which is used for other
build properties.

Stephen Kelly baff44345c cmTarget: Allow populating COMPILE_FEATURES using generator expressions.
Delay validation of the content as a feature if it contains a
generator expression. It will be checked again at generate-time
after evaluation.

Stephen Kelly f97bf4370c Features: Add cxx_auto_type.
Record the availability of this feature for GNU 4.8 on (UNIX AND
NOT APPLE) only.  In the future, availability can be recorded for
earlier GNU, for other platforms and for other compilers. Initially
the affected configurations are as restricted as possible to allow
for easy testing while extending the features vector in only one
dimension.

The error message when using the set_property API directly is not
very good, but follow up commits will provide origin debugging of
the property and a target_compile_features command which will
provide a configure-time backtrace when possible.
