Support WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS with `.def` files

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:module-def-and-WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS into master

The WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS target property exports all symbols found in object files explicitly given to the linker. However, the linker may also find additional symbols in dependencies and copy them into the linked binary (e.g. from msvcrt.lib). Provide a way to export an explicit list of such symbols by adding a .def file as a source file.

Fixes: #16473 (closed)
