Brad King b3b1c7bf3a Restore "all" target in subdirectories marked EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
The "all" target in each directory is supposed to have targets from that
directory even if the directory itself is marked `EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` in
its parent.  This was broken by commit dc6888573d (Pass EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
from directory to targets, 2019-01-15, v3.14.0-rc1~83^2) which made the
participation of a target in "all" independent of context.  Revert much
of the logic change from that commit to restore the old behavior.  Then
re-implement the behavior intended by the commit to keep its test
working.  Extend the test to cover the old behavior too.

Fixes: #19753

EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL
----------------
Set this directory property to a true value on a subdirectory to exclude
its targets from the "all" target of its ancestors. If excluded, running
e.g. ``make`` in the parent directory will not build targets the
subdirectory by default. This does not affect the "all" target of the
subdirectory itself. Running e.g. ``make`` inside the subdirectory will
still build its targets.
If the :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` target property is set on a target
then its value determines whether the target is included in the "all"
target of this directory and its ancestors.
