Ben Boeckel 386465bf83 cmTarget: add support for C++ module fileset types
C++ modules have two variants which are of importance to CMake:

  - `CXX_MODULES`: interface modules (those using `export module M;`,
    `export module M:part;`, or `module M:internal_part;`)
  - `CXX_MODULE_HEADER_UNITS`: importable header units

Creating C++ modules or partitions are *not* supported in any other
source listing. This is because the source files must be installed (so
their scope matters), but not part of usage requirements (what it means
for a module source to be injected into a consumer is not clear at this
moment). Due to the way `FILE_SET` works with scopes, they are a perfect
fit as long as `INTERFACE` is not allowed (which it is not).

CMake Tests Directory
*********************

This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.

.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst

Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.

* ``CMakeLib/``:
  Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
  defined over in ``Source/``.

* ``CMakeOnly/``:
  Deprecated.  Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.

* ``Find*/``:
  Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
  the corresponding packages installed.  They are enabled in
  ``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.

* ``Module/``:
  Tests for specific CMake modules.

* ``RunCMake/``:
  Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
  their return code and stdout/stderr content.  Useful for testing
  error cases and diagnostic output.
