Previously we used separate placeholders for builtin linker flags:
* CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS for EXECUTABLEs
* CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for SHARED libraries
* CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for MODULE libraries
These are now always replaced by the empty string, so drop them
from our rule variables.
These changes are in preparation of compiler generated dependencies support
for Makefiles generators
* compiler output and dependency target can be different for Makefiles generators
* resolve inconsistency naming for dependency file place-holder
The GNU `as --help` shows `--MD <file>` as an option to generate depfiles
as needed by Ninja. There is no `-MT <target>` flag but fortunately the
generated files automatically account for the `-o <obj>` flag.
Issue: #20426
CMAKE_ASM_COMPILE_OBJECT is now so that it fits for GNU, Intel, HP and Sun
ASM_ATT had to be adjusted. Also adjusted the default
CMAKE_ASM_LINK_EXECUTABLE

This commit changes the way how the assembler support works in cmake.
The language "ASM" now always uses the C/Cxx compiler instead
of the assembler directly. This fixes#8392, assembler files are
not preprocessed.
If one wants to use the assembler directly, the specific
assembler "dialect" has to be enabled. I.e. to get as/gas,
you have to use now ASM-ATT, the same way for ASM_MASM and ASM_NASM.
Implemented this now for gcc.
SunStudio, IBM, HP and Intel still todo.
