Help: Fix signature of add_library(<name> INTERFACE EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

Namniav W requested to merge namniav/cmake:fix-doc-add_library-INTERFACE-EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL into master

This signature was added by !5078 (merged) with incorrect documentation.

Previously the documented signature as:

add_library(<name> INTERFACE [<source>...] [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL])

which is incorrect. CMake would recognize EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL as a source file and report an error that it doesn't exists.

The correct signature is:

add_library(<name> INTERFACE [EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL] [<source>...])

which places EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL in the same position used by the documentation of other signatures.

Fixes: #25463 (closed)
