Introduce "generator expression" syntax to custom commands (#11209)

Evaluate in the COMMAND arguments of custom commands the generator
expression syntax introduced in commit d2e1f2b4 (Introduce "generator
expressions" to add_test, 2009-08-11).  These expressions have a syntax
like $<TARGET_FILE:mytarget> and are evaluated during build system
generation.  This syntax allows per-configuration target output files to
be referenced in custom command lines.
