On platforms that semantically distinguish loadable modules (plugins)
from shared libraries, such as macOS and CYGWIN, fix the per-language
fall back to create them the same way as with the C toolchain even when
the C language has not been enabled.
The `Platform/<OS>.cmake` modules record platform-specific flag
variables for the C toolchain. The `CMake<LANG>Information` modules
initialize the per-language platform-specific flag variables to defaults
copied from C. However, they have diverged over time, and not all
platform-specific flag variables are initialized correctly for all
languages. Factor out the CXX language's instance of this logic into a
helper macro, and reuse it for all languages for which we previously
had the platform-specific flag variables at least partially filled out.
Previously the Fortran language's copy of this logic used
`if(NOT DEFINED <var>)` instead of just `if(NOT <var>)` to allow
`Platform/<OS>-<COMPILER_ID>-<LANG>` modules to specify empty values for
some platform-specific flag variables without being overridden.
Use this approach in the helper macro so it applies to all languages.

Top-level code only works as part of executables, which breaks when
`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` is set to `STATIC_LIBRARY`. This patch
fixes the test to something agnostic between executables and libraries
while still verifying that we can import types from the standard
library.

Most generators now support this character after escaping and quoting
cleanups over time. Disallow it only on generators that do support it.
Fixes: #25604
Apply commit d74e651b78 (Makefiles: Re-implement makefile target path
escaping and quoting, 2020-04-10, v3.18.0-rc1~334^2~1) to the Xcode
generator's legacy Makefile generation. This adds support for '#'.
However, since we use '$(VAR)' placeholders, do not escape '$'.
