09cda9d5 Allow imported INTERFACE libraries to specify a link library name
1d1f1eeb cmTarget: Refactor GetMappedConfig to choose location property up front
479932fa cmTarget: Add comment clarifying interface library special case
925e4270 cmTarget: Clarify comments in GetMappedConfig
Add an `IMPORTED_LIBNAME[_<CONFIG>]` target property to specify a library
name to be placed on the link line in place of an interface library
since it has no library file of its own. Restrict use of the property
to imported `INTERFACE` libraries.
This will be particularly useful for find modules that need to provide
imported libraries from system SDKs where the full path to the library
file is not known. Now such find modules will be able to provide an
imported interface library and set `IMPORTED_LIBNAME` to refer to the
SDK library by name.

b34c0457 Release text for omitting unsupported tags topic
cd042330 CPack/RPM test for Suggests tag
228280d8 CPack/RPM prevent special tags from being removed
d8e83ab9 CPack/RPM omit unsupported tags
Suggests tag was not present in older versions
of rpmbuild so we test that the rpm package is
always generated either with Suggests tag present
or skipped if not supported.
When using a Fortran compiler that produces PIC executables by default
with a C compiler that does not produce PIC by default then the mangling
detection executable fails to link. Explicitly enable PIC for the C
compiler just in case the Fortran compiler needs it to link.

This condition needs to follow the same pattern added in note `[1]` by
commit a5a3642f (Features: Port Intel CXX features to test macros where
possible, 2016-10-26). It was accidentally left out of that commit.
Flags specified in the `COMPILE_FLAGS` source-file property should
be placed after those in target-wide properties so that those on
individual source files can override those on the whole target.
This is already done by most generators but was not implemented
correctly for VS 2010 and above.

The switch to use UTF-8 encoding has been defaulted to on for quite some
time since commit v3.2.0-rc1~116^2 (Encoding: Switch to use UTF-8
internally by default on Windows, 2014-12-26).
The `cxx_static_assert` feature may be available in C++ 98 mode of some
compilers or not available at all in others. Intstead of using an
individual feature to test cyclic requirement of a feature requiring
C++ 11, use the `std_cxx_11` meta-feature that has exactly this meaning.
