Autogen: Add INTERFACE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES

Orkun Tokdemir requested to merge OrkunTokdemir/cmake:orkun_19679_31_03_2023 into master

Descrition

A new interface target property was added. It can be set by set_target_properties(). Macro names specified in INTERFACE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES will be inherited by the target and added to its AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES. This means that the target will automatically generate MOC files for source files that contain the inherited macro names. By default INTERFACE_AUTOMOC_MACRO_NAMES is empty.

The EvaluatedTarget class and related functions were moved to a new header file. The EvaluatedTarget class won't be used only in cmGeneratorTarget.cxx anymore. It was moved to a new header file so that other *.cxx and *.h files include it. For example cmQtAutoGenInitializer.cxx needs to use the EvaluatedTarget class.

The QtAutogen setup was deferred into Generate. It is better to set variables up after all target dependencies are computed/calculated. Therefore, the setup QtAutogen was deferred into Generate instead of Compute.
