Teach the `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:...>` generator expression to check for a
new `TRANSITIVE_COMPILE_PROPERTIES` property in the target's link
closure to enable transitive evaluation of named properties through
the link closure, excluding entries guarded by `$<LINK_ONLY:...>`.
Issue: #20416
Since commit 1e49880472 (cmGeneratorTarget: Avoid boolean trap in usage
requirement lookup, 2021-12-08, v3.23.0-rc1~245^2) we have clarified
the distinction between compile-only and link-only usage requirements.
Rename the `LinkInterfaceFor` enum to `UseTo` to clarify that its role
is to specify the purpose of usage requirements.
Since commit 895efd4e7a (cmGeneratorExpression: Consolidate
recognition of transitive properties, 2024-04-12) a lint suppression
added by commit fb461cacba (silence selected clang-tidy violations,
2016-10-18, v3.8.0-rc1~428^2~1) is no longer needed.
In commit ff6c401309 (cmTarget: Add interface for compatible numeric
properties, 2013-10-22, v3.0.0-rc1~460^2) the condition
dagCheckerParent && !dagCheckerParent->EvaluatingLinkLibraries()
was written that way to avoid a nullptr dereference, but is actually
meant to say "is not evaluating link libraries". That can also be true
when there is no `dagCheckerParent`, such as when evaluating a generator
expression outside of usage requirements, e.g., for `add_custom_target`.
The original commit tried to account for that by duplicating the
implementation in another code path, but that did not work in all cases.
Fix the condition, remove the duplication, and enable tests for the
now-working cases.
The `IsLinkInterfaceDependent*Property` methods internally exclude
INTERFACE libraries since commit 0bfcb450e6 (INTERFACE_LIBRARY: Avoid
codepaths which set unneeded properties., 2013-11-20, v3.0.0-rc1~301^2~1).
Refactoring in commit 72d116ee68 (GenEx: list oriented genexes use
cmList class, 2023-03-29, v3.27.0-rc1~205^2) accidentally caused
empty elements to be dropped by the `REMOVE_DUPLICATES` genex.
Fix it and add a test case.

This generator expression is the inverse of `LINK_ONLY` and only coveys
usage requirements for the purposes of compilation. Its intended use is
to avoid needing to export targets that do not have link usage
requirements (e.g., header-only libraries) when used by another target.

This generator expression is the inverse of `LINK_ONLY` and only coveys
usage requirements for the purposes of compilation. Its intended use is
to avoid needing to export targets that do not have link usage
requirements (e.g., header-only libraries) when used by another target.
It will also be used to represent private usage requirements on exported
C++ module-containing targets in the future.
Eventually there should be logic to collapse nesting of
`$<COMPILE_ONLY>` and `$<LINK_ONLY>` when generating instances of
either. A TODO is left in the code for this case.

This commit adds handling for a new genex TARGET_RUNTIME_DLL_DIRS to
cmGeneratorExpressionNode. It refactors the code for TARGET_RUNTIME_DLLS
a bit, so that both TARGET_RUNTIME_DLL_DIRS and TARGET_RUNTIME_DLLS
share the implementation to collect all dlls. The new genex
collects the dlls and in a final step puts all the directories
into the result variable (and makes sure there are no duplicates).
Add `Green Hills MULTI` to the list of generators checked for the
`COMPILE_LANGUAGE`, `COMPILE_LANG_AND_ID`, `LINK_LANGUAGE`, and
`LINK_LANG_AND_ID` generator expressions, since these are supported by
the generator.

When evaluating the `$<CONFIG>` genex on an imported target has the
`IMPORTED_CONFIGURATIONS` property set, the current project has a config
that does not match any of those, and no explicit configuration mappings
are defined, fall back to the same configuration as `IMPORTED_LOCATION`.
Fixes: #24222
When `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop>` is used in an `INTERFACE_*` target
property for usage requirements, it may be evaluated in the context of a
dependent target in another directory. Look up the `tgt` name in the
directory of the target whose property holds the expression so that
imported targets isolated to that directory are visible.

extension for each bundle type.
