For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
In cases that a target's transitive closure of dependencies does not
depend on the target being linked (the "head" target), we can memoize
whether or not a usage requirement property exists at all for that
target. When a usage requirement does not exist for a target, we
can skip evaluating it for every consuming target.
Fixes: #18964, #18965
In large projects the generation process spends a lot of time evaluating
usage requirements through transitive interface properties on targets.
This can be seen in a contrived example with deep dependencies:
set(prev "")
foreach(i RANGE 1 500)
add_library(a${i} a.c)
target_compile_definitions(a${i} PUBLIC A${i})
target_link_libraries(a${i} PUBLIC ${prev})
set(prev a${i})
endforeach()
For each usage requirement (such as `INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` or
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`), the value of the generator expression
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:target,prop>` includes the values of the same
property from the transitive closure of link libraries of the target.
Previously we computed this by constructing a generator expression
string like `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:lib,INTERFACE_COMPILE_DEFINITIONS>` and
recursively evaluating it with the generator expression engine. Avoid
the string construction and parsing by creating and using a dedicated
evaluation method `cmGeneratorTarget::EvaluateInterfaceProperty` that
looks up the properties directly.
Issue: #18964, #18965
Rather than taking a number of out parameters for the various names,
create a structure that is reused for both `GetLibraryNames` and
`GetExecutableNames`. Replace uses according to the new interface.
Suppress some cases in `Source/cmGeneratorExpressionNode.cxx` and
`Source/cmUVHandlePtr.h` where a few older compilers require a
user-defined default constructor (with `{}`).
The new optional `before` parameter in `cmTarget::AddSource` and
`cmGeneratorTarget::AddSource` allows to prepend a source file
to the sources list instead of appending it.

A target created by `add_custom_target` should always be a `.vcxproj`
file even if it has `.cs` sources involved in custom commands and such.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) does not check the target type
and so is not a suitable check for deciding the project file extension.
The `HasLanguage` method was an attempt at an abstraction that turns
out not to work very well. Replace it with a dedicated `IsCSharpOnly`
method that considers the target type, sources, and non-transitive
`LINKER_LANGUAGE`.
Fixes: #18515
In cmGeneratorTarget and cmLocalGenerator we offer several APIs to get
build settings like include directories, compile definitions, source
files, etc. Add corresponding APIs that include backtrace information.
Carry a backtrace on every link item, not just link implementation
items. For now the non-impl items will still have empty backtraces at
runtime, but this will allow us to introduce values over time.

A that target contains only `.cs` sources should be generated as a
`.csproj` project even if it links to non-CSharp static libraries.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) enforces its "exclusive" check
on the combined set of source file languages and the link language.
To restore the original `TargetIsCSharpOnly` semantics, update
`HasLanguage` to enforce exclusiveness only on the list of sources.

These new capabilities enable to manage link directories
Two new properties:
* target properties: LINK_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
One new command
* target_link_directories(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #17215
Avoid exposing the item name implicitly as std::string. When the item
is a target, avoid storing a second copy of its name.
Most link item construction is paired with calls to `FindTargetToLink`
to get the possible target pointer. Rename these methods to
`ResolveLinkItem` and refactor them to construct the entire item.
This family enable to manage link flags
Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties

When evaluating `INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`, or evaluating
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` on an imported target, thread the
compile language through to the generator expression evaluator so
that it can support `$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:...>`.
Fixes: #17811
Adds cmGeneratorTarget::clearSourcesCache() which clears the cache
of precomputed sources lists and object names. The cache gets
recomputed on demand.
Clearing the cache is necessary in case an OBJECT library
gets a source added after a target (ORIGIN) that includes it
computed it's external sources cache.
This may happen in AUTOMOC when ORIGIN is processed before the
OBJECT library which gets a mocs_compilation.cpp file added.
