Add option to optimize link dependencies for static libraries

Kyle Edwards requested to merge kyle.edwards/cmake:optimize-static-library-deps into master

Add an OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES target property and supporting CMAKE_OPTIMIZE_DEPENDENCIES variable to optionally enable pruning and flattening of outgoing dependencies from static libraries. Since they do not actually link, they only depend on side effects of their dependencies. Therefore we can drop dependencies that contribute no side effects.
