FindHDF5: port modern CMake target construction from VTK (!5129) · Merge requests · CMake / CMake

Seth R Johnson requested to merge sethrj/cmake:findhdf5-targets into master Aug 15, 2020

The latest HDF5 versions still allow installation from autoconf files rather than the CMake-based installation, but guaranteeing a modern HDF5 target would be a boon to modern CMake projects.

I've imported @ben.boeckel's changes to FindHDF5 from VTK (see !2575 (closed), #18560 (closed)). It removes the "library type detection" from VTK but is otherwise unchanged.
