Brad King 0ebff0d61a export: Restore exclusion of private shared library dependencies from checks
Refactoring in commit 8c65b7042e (cmExportFileGenerator: Simplify
collection of targets missing from export set, 2022-04-11,
v3.24.0-rc1~281^2) accidentally dropped the behavior change from
commit 0ad2a1c181 (Export: Never treat private link libraries as
public package dependencies., 2013-09-24, v3.0.0-rc1~559^2).
Restore the behavior and add a test.

Fixes: #23838

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  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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.
