INTERFACE libraries were created with the intention of collecting usage
requirements for use by other targets via `target_link_libraries`.
Therefore they were not allowed to have SOURCES and were not included in
the generated buildsystem. In practice, this has become limiting:
* Header-only libraries do have sources, they just do not compile.
Developers should be able to edit those sources (the header files)
in their IDE.
* Header-only libraries may need to generate some of their header
files via custom commands.
Some projects work around these limitations by pairing each interface
library with an `add_custom_target` that makes the header files and
custom commands appear in the generated buildsystem and in IDEs.
Lift such limitations by allowing INTERFACE libraries to have SOURCES.
For those with sources, add a corresponding build target to the
generated buildsystem.
Fixes: #19145
Move documentation on IMPORTED INTERFACE libraries to the main section
on Imported Libraries. Revise the section to clarify the different
kinds of imported libraries that can be created and what properties they
need.

Revert commit f84af8e270 (add_test: Allow special characters in test
name, 2020-05-16, v3.18.0-rc1~142^2). Unfortunately the fix breaks
projects that were working around the limitation with manual escaping.
The fix can be re-introduced with a policy in a future version.
Also add a 3.18.1 release note explaining the change.

Allow to specify both DIRECTORY and TARGET_DIRECTORY at the same time in
`set_source_files_properties()` and `set_property(SOURCE)` commands.
Add test cases and update the documentation.
Fixes: #20932
The FILES and DIRECTORY options were renamed in bbcff21f71
(file(ARCHIVE*): Collapse FILES and DIRECTORY options, 2020-06-30),
but the synopsis part of the file() documentation was missed.
The synopsis also typically only shows the mandatory options.
Update the synopsis to reflect the name changes and omit the
DESTINATION option since it is not mandatory.
The two options were concatenated internally for both ARCHIVE_CREATE
and ARCHIVE_EXTRACT. The distinction between files and dirs was not
meaningful. Therefore, replace them with PATHS or PATTERNS
to more accurately describe the way the options are used.
Fixes: #20884
In commit a6fee09484 (file: Add CONFIGURE subcommand, 2020-03-06,
v3.18.0-rc1~584^2) we accidentally treated relative path outputs
with respect to the current working directory. Treat them with
respect to the current binary directory instead.
Fixes: #20885
If `get_target_property` fails to find a value for a non-inherited
property, it appends `-NOTFOUND` to the var name and sets that as the
result, rather than setting the value of the var to `NOTFOUND`.
