Adding a source file at generate time can cause the linker language or
other settings to change that affect `GetLinkImplementationLibraries`
and friends.
When the VS 2010+ generators were first implemented in commit 7491f52992
(ENH: first pass at VS 10, can bootstrap CMake, but many tests still
fail, 2009-06-25, v2.8.0~546), the per-source preprocessor definitions
were placed before target-wide preprocessor definitions for consistency
with the behavior of VS 9 2008 and below. However, those generators
are not used much anymore. Instead prefer consistency with the order
used by the Ninja and Makefile generators.
Check for the existence of the Binary directory string before checking
for coverage files. If the directory is not specified, write an error
message and do not do any checking.
Fixes: #22102
In commit b2c14bc774 (cmake -E: Add cmake_transform_depfile internal
command, 2020-10-02, v3.20.0-rc1~684^2~2) a partial implementation for
converting MSBuild "TLog" format files was added. However, it is
unused and incomplete:
* Does not enforce absolute paths as TLog docs require.
* Does not upper-case paths as TLog docs recommend.
* The TLog format semantics are not equivalent to `out: in`.
Remove the unused TLog transform infrastructure to avoid confusion.

OUTPUT variant with a TARGET given to allow resolving target-based generator
expressions wouldn't work because OUTPUT is resolved before generator targets
are created, i.e. FindGeneratorTargetToUse() returns nullptr.
This is a known limitation, see #21364.
Implements #21336.
Linkers always use object files explicitly specified on the command line
regardless of where they appear. Move them to the front of the list of
linked libraries in so that symbols required by the object files can be
resolved by any library.
Issue: #22149
Extend the fix from commit 67e2130c96 (Makefiles: Fix
CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS crash with custom compile rule,
2020-11-20, v3.19.1~8^2) to work for the `<FLAGS>` placeholder too.
Also fix the test case to actually enable `EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS`
on the test target.
