Taylor Sasser d92b6c3e20 CPS: Add Symbolic Components

Adds support for "symbolic" components, which represent feature-level
capabilities of a package that do not correspond to actual build targets.
These are modeled as pseudo-targets, using the INTERFACE type as a base,
and can be queried via:

  get_target_property(... <tgt> "SYMBOLIC")

This enables consumers to declare requirements on optional features
(e.g., SSL support) even when they do not map to concrete targets.

Fixes: #27187

 SYMBOLIC
 --------
 .. versionadded:: 4.2
 Read-only indication of whether a target is ``SYMBOLIC``.
 Symbolic targets are created by calls to
 :command:`add_library(INTERFACE SYMBOLIC) <add_library(INTERFACE-SYMBOLIC)>`.
 They are useful for packages to represent additional **components** or
 **feature selectors** that consumers can request via ``find_package()``.
