VS: Allow users to specify arbitrary non-built file item metadata

Matt Davies requested to merge mdavies/cmake:specify-arbitrary-non-built-file-item-metadata into master

Implements changes discussed in #20445 (closed)

  • Adds a source property called VS_SETTINGS which takes a list of key-value pairs. These are used to write item metadata for that non-built file.
  • Adds a target property called VS_SOURCE_SETTINGS_<tool> which takes a list of key-value pairs. These are used to write item metadata for all non-built files in the target that use the tool.
  • Both properties have their values evaluated in their entirety as generator expressions.
  • Adds a test for these new properties.

Fixes: #20445 (closed)
