    Add new target-property `IMPORTED_GLOBAL`. · 6a3922be
    Deniz Bahadir authored
    The purpose of this new `IMPORTED_GLOBAL` target-property is to prolong
    the lifetime and scope of `IMPORTED` targets in such a way as if they
    had been created with the keyword `GLOBAL` in the first place.
    
    * It can only be set to `TRUE`. That means, a local `IMPORTED` target
      can be promoted to global scope but a global `IMPORTED` target cannot
      be degraded to local scope!
    * Setting it to `TRUE` only succeeds if done from within the same
      directory in which the `IMPORTED` target was created in the first
      place.
    
    Fixes #17256.
