Help: Clarify IMPORTED_LOCATION documentation

Andi McClure requested to merge mcclure/cmake:imported-location-rst into master

I was reading this doc yesterday, I misread it in a dumb way (I was importing a mac framework, but on seeing the instructions for "bundles" [mac executables] went "aha, this is what I want" and didn't read the rest of the paragraph) and lost some time. Here are some slight changes that would have helped me understand it right on first read:

  1. Instead of referring to an executable as a "bundle", refer to it as an "application bundle". As you can see from Apple's documentation, bundles are a general category of which application bundles [executables] are just one type. Frameworks are also bundles.
  2. Put the explanation of mac executables and mac frameworks next to each other, so a fool in a hurry like me doesn't think they've found the mac content and stop reading halfway through the paragraph.

Backport: release
Topic-rename: doc-IMPORTED_LOCATION
