ENH: Simple specification of link interfaces

Create an INTERFACE option to the target_link_libraries command to help
set the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES and LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES_DEBUG
properties.  This will help users specify link interfaces using
variables from Find*.cmake modules that include the 'debug' and
'optimized' keywords.
