Also handle the config-specific property.

Stephen Kelly 4cf161a5e7 Fix determination of evaluating link libraries.
Added in commit 6fbe3ce4 (Exclude the LINK_LIBRARIES related properties
from INTERFACE evaluation., 2013-01-23)

Stephen Kelly 089fe1c13d Optimize genex evaluation for includes and defines.
While porting boost to use these features, the generation step took
too long (several minutes before I stopped it). The reason was that
the boost libraries form a large interdependent mesh. The libraries
list their dependencies in their INTERFACE such as:

 $<LINKED:boost::core>;$<LINKED:boost::config>;$<LINKED:boost::mpl>

As boost::core already depends on the boost::config libraries, that
expression has no impact on the end-content, as it is removed after
the generation step. There is no DAG issue though, so the generator
expression evaluation would fully evaluate them. In the case of the
config library, it also depends on the core library, so all depends
are followed through that again, despite the fact that they've just
been evaluated. After this patch, the evaluation skips libraries if
they have already been seen via depends or directly in the content.

This patch keeps track of targets whose INTERFACE has been consumed
already. The INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES and COMPILE_DEFINITIONS properties
are whitelisted because repeated content will be stripped out later
during generation. For other properties now and in the future, that
may not be the case.

Stephen Kelly 0fa7f69c0e Add API to check if we're reading a includes or defines property.
This will allow the implementation of the LINKED generator expression.

Stephen Kelly 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.

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

Stephen Kelly c67b8124f7 Make cycles in target properties ignored, not an error.
Constructs such as these are an error as they are direct self-references:

 set_property(TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY
   INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:foo,INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)
 set_property(TARGET foo APPEND PROPERTY
   INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES $<TARGET_PROPERTY:INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES>)

However, this is an indirect self-reference in a cycle, and not an error:

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

Stephen Kelly 26def1771d Make all relevant targets available in the genex context.
The current node being evaluated transitively in the generator
expression must be available to resolve mapped configs.

Stephen Kelly 7e807472d2 Add API to check that dependent target properties form a DAG.
Initially this will only be used to check for self-references, but
can be extended to check for cycles when chaining properties of other
targets.
