A target created by `add_custom_target` should always be a `.vcxproj`
file even if it has `.cs` sources involved in custom commands and such.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) does not check the target type
and so is not a suitable check for deciding the project file extension.
The `HasLanguage` method was an attempt at an abstraction that turns
out not to work very well. Replace it with a dedicated `IsCSharpOnly`
method that considers the target type, sources, and non-transitive
`LINKER_LANGUAGE`.

A that target contains only `.cs` sources should be generated as a
`.csproj` project even if it links to non-CSharp static libraries.
The latter case was broken by refactoring in commit v3.12.0-rc1~160^2~7
(remove TargetIsCSharpOnly() and use methods from cmGeneratorTarget,
2018-03-19). The reason is that the `HasLanguage` method added by
commit v3.12.0-rc1~239^2~6 (cmGeneratorTarget: add HasLanguage() as
wrapper for GetLanguages(), 2018-03-19) enforces its "exclusive" check
on the combined set of source file languages and the link language.
To restore the original `TargetIsCSharpOnly` semantics, update
`HasLanguage` to enforce exclusiveness only on the list of sources.

These new capabilities enable to manage link directories
Two new properties:
* target properties: LINK_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
One new command
* target_link_directories(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #17215
Refactoring in commit f4ff60a803 (cmMakefile: Make GetSafeDefinition
return std::string const&, 2018-09-05) accidentally changed the logic
for target artifact prefix and suffix names such that setting a PREFIX
or SUFFIX target property would cause an empty value to be used. Revert
that part of the change and use a simpler alternative. Add a test case.

Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.
Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in
the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target.
Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties
to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other
than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add
minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it.
Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that
only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be
looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add
policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a
compatible way.
Fixes: #17943
While collecting usage requirements from the `INTERFACE_*` properties of
directly linked targets, we internally generate `TARGET_PROPERTY:` and
`TARGET_OBJECTS:` generator expressions to refer to those properties on
those targets. At the point we generate these expressions we already
have a pointer to an exact `cmGeneratorTarget` instance.
Switch from using the target name in these generator expressions to
using an internal unique name generated for each `cmGeneratorTarget`
instance to be referenced. This avoids depending on the user-facing
target name to find the same target we already have.
If two imported targets in different directories have the same name we
should still be able to propagate transitive usage requirements from
both. Fix the DAG checker to work with target pointers instead of
target names since the pointers will not be duplicated even if the names
are.

If two imported targets in different directories have the same name we
should still be able to propagate transitive link dependencies from
both. Fix the target and link dependency analyzers to de-duplicate
targets using target pointers rather than target names since the
pointers will not be duplicated even if the names are.

Avoid exposing the item name implicitly as std::string. When the item
is a target, avoid storing a second copy of its name.
Most link item construction is paired with calls to `FindTargetToLink`
to get the possible target pointer. Rename these methods to
`ResolveLinkItem` and refactor them to construct the entire item.
This family enable to manage link flags
Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties

Options specified via `COMPILE_OPTIONS` and `INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`
are deduplicated, but individual options can legitimately be duplicated
when grouped with other options, e.g.
-D A -D B
After deduplication that becomes `-D A B`. Therefore we need a way to
treat groups of options as units during deduplication. A simple approach
is to specify each group as one option, e.g.
"-D A" "-D B"
However, that conflicts with options that legitimately have spaces. To
break this ambiguity, add a `SHELL:` prefix syntax to specify that an
option should be parsed like shell command line arguments after
deduplication, e.g.
"SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B"
These will survive deduplication intact, and then be parsed to produce
`-D A -D B` on the final command line.
Fixes: #15826
When evaluating `INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`, or evaluating
`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` on an imported target, thread the
compile language through to the generator expression evaluator so
that it can support `$<COMPILE_LANGUAGE:...>`.

Note: This finally links the object-files of the `OBJECT` library from
the right-hand side of `target_link_libraries` to the target on the
left-hand side. However, this will only happen with directly linked
`OBJECT` libraries, not with `OBJECT` libraries "linked" through
property `INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES` of a target on the right-hand side!
Fixes: #14778
Note: This still does not link the object-files of the `OBJECT` library
from the right-hand side of `target_link_libraries` to the target on the
left-hand side. (In this particular case of another `OBJECT` library on
the left-hand side this would not make any sense anyway. The target on
the left-hand side has no link-step.)

Note: This only allows `OBJECT` libraries to be on the right-hand side

Our `cmake -E __create_def` helper used for `WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS`
and merging of multiple `.def` files is available only with CMake hosted
on Windows. However, we may generate use of it on other platforms since
commit v3.9.0-rc1~405^2 (Support WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS with `.def`
files, 2017-03-13) when multiple `.def` files are listed. This results
in a build error because the tool doesn't exist.
Fix our logic to avoid using the tool on non-Windows platforms. Instead
silently ignore all but the first `.def` source as we did before.

* Change some functions to take `std::string` instead of
`const char*` in the following classes: `cmMakeFile`, `cmake`,
`cmCoreTryCompile`, `cmSystemTools`, `cmState`, `cmLocalGenerator`
and a few others.
* Greatly reduce using of `const char*` overloads for
`cmSystemTools::MakeDirectory` and `cmSystemTools::RelativePath`.
* Remove many redundant `c_str()` conversions throughout the code.
