Matthew Woehlke 2e37a20f02 Utilities/Sphinx: Allow explicit target for genex
Split the genex directive into its own class, allowing a slight
simplification of CMakeObject. Add ability to specify an explicit target
name for the same.

Use this to provide a target for the `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop>` generator
expression which is otherwise missing one (due to overlap with
`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop>`).  With this one can write:

    :genex:`$<TARGET_PROPERTY:prop> <TARGET_PROPERTY:prop>`

to link the second variant.

Fixes: #24573

This directory contains documentation about development of CMake itself.
It is not part of the user documentation distributed with CMake.

Contributor Instructions
========================

See `CONTRIBUTING.rst`_ for instructions to contribute changes.

The process for contributing changes is the same whether or not one
has been invited to participate directly in upstream development.

.. _`CONTRIBUTING.rst`: ../../CONTRIBUTING.rst

Upstream Development
====================

CMake uses `Kitware's GitLab Instance`_ to manage development, review, and
integration of changes.  The `CMake Repository`_ holds the integration
branches and tags.  Upstream development processes are covered by the
following documents:

* The `CMake Review Process`_ manages integration of changes.
* The `CMake Testing Process`_ drives integration testing.
