Some platforms, Apple or Windows for instance, do not require to duplicate
static libraries to resolve mutual dependencies. Moreover, Xcode version 15
emits a warning if a library is duplicated.
On Windows, enable a better control of libraries order.

This makes the WILL_FAIL behavior explicit. Users could be confused
because some other build systems treat equivalent test properties
as allowing a failure, but still pass on a passing test, and may
catch SIGABRT unlike CMake.
We show an example of how to wrap a test so that sigabrt, segfault,
etc. are also handled by WILL_FAIL.
But only do so if the depfile is not specified as an output of the
command. Otherwise the command will out-of-date itself as `ninja`
deletes depfiles that it incorporates into the database and a missing
output will cause the command to run again.
This allows for a more graceful transition for projects using C++20
without scanner support (e.g., Clang 15 or GCC 13). While newer
compilers will (needlessly) scan, it allows C++20-using projects to use
older compilers without having to set `CMAKE_CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` to
support newer CMake minimum versions.

Extract the effective linker during the computation of implicit artifacts
delivered by the compiler to the linker.
Define various variables describing the linker:
* CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER
* CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_VERSION
* CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_ID
* CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_LINKER_FRONTEND_VARIANT
This is complementary to feature introduced by commit 96a953b1ed
(Add options to specify linker tool, 2023-09-27).

C++ module sources should not be included by any other TUs, so their
presence cannot matter for order-only dependencies of the entire target.
Exclude them.
Update CMP0154 to take this into consideration and add tests to the
`CXXModules` suite (which already deals with module support detection).
Offer the capability, through variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`, as well as
the target property `LINKER_TYPE` to specify which linker must be used.
The implementation of this capability is specified by variables specific
to the language and linker type: `CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE>`.
Some definitions are provided as part of `CMake`.
For example, to select the `LLVM` linker rather than the standard one,
the type `LLD` should be specified through the variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`.
And, on `Apple`, `Linux` and some environments on `Windows`, the variable
`CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_LLD` has value `-fuse-ld=lld`. And for `Windows`
environments based on `MSVC`, where the linker is used directly, the tool
`lld-link.exe` will be used rather than `link.exe`.
