Previously we would synthesize <TARGET_NAME>-NOTFOUND as the location. This
would then end up on the link line and cause build failures.
Policy CMP0110 is added to control this behaviour.
Fixes#19080, #19943.
Add additional information to the cmake-buildsystem manual:
* Add link to "Generator Expressions" in a place which demonstrates a
generator expression without linking to what they are.
* Update "diagnostic message" for "Compatible Interface Properties" to
contain an example of the message sent.
* Add information about the macOS FRAMEWORK_VERSION and how "A" is the
conventional value to use.
Add an `OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES` target property and supporting
`CMAKE_OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES` variable to optionally enable pruning and
flattening of outgoing dependencies from static libraries. Since they
do not actually link, they only depend on side effects of their
dependencies. Therefore we can drop dependencies that contribute no
side effects.
Restore the change from commit f84af8e270 (add_test: Allow special
characters in test name, 2020-05-16, v3.18.0-rc1~142^2) that had to be
reverted by commit f84af8e270 (add_test: Allow special characters in
test name, 2020-05-16, v3.18.0-rc1~142^2) for compatibility.
Add policy CMP0110 to make the change in a compatible way.
Also, support even more characters than before by generating the
test scripts using bracket arguments around the test names.

INTERFACE libraries with SOURCES now appear in the generated
buildsystem, so include them in the codemodel output too.
We do not need to bump the `codemodel-v2` object kind minor
version because that was already done in post-3.18 development
by commit 7d6861f367 (fileapi: Extend codemodel targets with
language standard, 2020-06-18).
Fixes: #18608
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
Previously we disallowed use of arbitrary properties on INTERFACE
libraries. The goal was to future-proof projects using them by not
allowing properties to be set that may affect their future inclusion in
the generated buildsystem. In order to prepare to actually include
INTERFACE libraries in the generated buildsystem, drop the filter and
allow arbitrary properties to be set.
Issue: #19145
Clarify the order in which --resource-spec-file, RESOURCE_SPEC_FILE,
and CTEST_RESOURCE_SPEC_FILE are searched, and add tests to
enforce this.
Fixes: #20914
This option has been broken since commit b9f9915516 (cmMakefile: Remove
VarUsageStack., 2015-05-17, v3.3.0-rc1~52^2). That commit removed the
check that an initialized variable has actually been used and caused the
option to warn on every variable ever set. This was not caught by the
test suite because the test for the feature only checked that warnings
appear when needed and not that they do not appear when not needed.
The option was never very practical to use. Remove it to avoid the
runtime cost of usage tracking and checks for every variable (which we
were doing even when the option was not used).
