Brad King 50fdaf8f1f cmComputeLinkInformation: Track targets named by TARGET_OBJECTS sources
Since commit b6a5382217 (Ninja: depend on language module information
files directly, 2023-02-10, v3.27.0-rc1~502^2), the return value of
`cmCommonTargetGenerator::GetLinkedTargetDirectories` must account for
linked object libraries because they may provide modules (#25112).
These were added by commit b665966933 (cmComputeLinkInformation: track
OBJECT library dependencies, 2023-07-22, v3.27.1~5^2).  However, targets
named by `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` sources are also needed (#25365).

The latter were added by commit 22da18b995 (Fortran: Restore support for
TARGET_OBJECTS providing modules, 2023-10-27, v3.28.0-rc4~9^2) and
commit 035302b7e3 (cmComputeLinkDepends: also copy the target from
object link items, 2023-10-27, v3.28.0-rc4~9^2~2).  However, their
approach added link entries not actually specified by projects.  It also
incorrectly re-used `cmComputeLinkDepends::AddLinkObject` for object
library targets when it is meant for their individual object files.
These problems caused additional regressions (#25417).  Revert the
implementation parts of those commits and leave behind an assertion and
comment to help avoid the mistake in the future.  Instead, track targets
named by `$<TARGET_OBJECTS:...>` sources with a dedicated member.

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  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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