Encapsulate the shell escaping logic in `cmCommonTargetGenerator` and
represent launchers via a vector of strings (as is done with custom
commands, execute process commands, etc.) to make them easier to work
with.
This facilitates work in a future commit which will reuse this pathway.
Issue: #27598, #27402
Previously, `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` was an undocumented variable used
for linking executables only. Re-spell that variable mirroring the
existing spellings for shared and module libraries, and add policy
CMP0210 to preserve compatibility.
Then, repurpose `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS` to provide a variable to be
used for per-language link flags for all target types, along with a
per-configuration variant. These are added to the `<LINK_FLAGS>` rule
placeholder in the generators.

Create a single place to store target data to prevent duplication.
This moves `targetType` and `targetLabels` out of the snippet files
and into a target map in the `cmakeContent` file referenced by each
snippet.

Revert infrastructure from commit 8bcf9c7a3e (Add support of "LINKER:"
prefix for artifact creation flags, 2024-10-12, v4.0.0-rc1~522^2~1).
It is not needed to populate legacy placeholders with empty strings.
Previously we used separate placeholders for builtin linker flags:
* CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS for EXECUTABLEs
* CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for SHARED libraries
* CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS for MODULE libraries
These correspond to variables set by our compiler information modules.
Teach the generators to look up these variables and add them to the
existing `<LINK_FLAGS>` placeholder instead. Substitute the empty
string for the old placeholders.
Issue: #21934
With IntelLLVM on Windows, we link using the compiler driver.
With MSVC on Windows, we invoke the linker directly. If we
use both in a single build tree, for separate languages,
the value of `CMAKE_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG` conflicts. Add a
per-language `CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_DEF_FILE_FLAG` variable to
avoid the conflict. Preserve the language-agnostic variable
for compatibility with projects that reference it.

Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`, now with "east const" enforcement.
Use `clang-format` version 18.

Issue: #26123
The following variables now support the LINKER: prefix:
* CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS
* CMAKE_SHARED_MODULE_CREATE_<LANG>_FLAGS
* CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_FLAGS
Offer the capability, through variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`, as well as
the target property `LINKER_TYPE` to specify which linker must be used.
The implementation of this capability is specified by variables specific
to the language and linker type: `CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_<TYPE>`.
Some definitions are provided as part of `CMake`.
For example, to select the `LLVM` linker rather than the standard one,
the type `LLD` should be specified through the variable `CMAKE_LINKER_TYPE`.
And, on `Apple`, `Linux` and some environments on `Windows`, the variable
`CMAKE_<LANG>_USING_LINKER_LLD` has value `-fuse-ld=lld`. And for `Windows`
environments based on `MSVC`, where the linker is used directly, the tool
`lld-link.exe` will be used rather than `link.exe`.

Replace WATCOMQUOTE output format by UseWatcomQuote attribute to properly handle single quote
This attribute is used globaly only for Watcom linker to handle single-quote separator instead of double-quote
it doesn't mean different output format only change of quoting separator
It is now applied to any output form SHELL/RESPONSE/NINJAMULTI if Watcom linker is used otherwise double-quote is used
In commit afcd9fe669 (AIX: Add an option to disable automatic exports
from shared libraries, 2020-01-30, v3.17.0-rc1~47^2) the population of
the `<AIX_EXPORTS>` rule variable placeholder was accidentally added to
the device linking rule rather than the main linking rule. This caused
our `ExportImportList` script on AIX, when called for executables with
`ENABLE_EXPORTS` set, to be given an `AIX_EXPORTS` file name that does
not exist, leading to a warning from the `dump` tool.
Move the population of the `<AIX_EXPORTS>` placeholder in the Makefile
generators to the main link rule.

Currently, this feature is only supported on ELF platforms. So, the property
LINK_WHAT_YOU_USE will be ignored for other plateforms.
Moreover, flags and commands are now controled by CMake variables.
Fixes: #20174
Most calls to `MaybeConvertToRelativePath` use one of our common work
directories (e.g. top of the build tree) as the local path. Add helpers
for each of the common cases to simplify and clarify call sites.
Allows using different compilers with different flags for different languages.
For example Clang with GNU-like commandline for CXX and MSVC as host compiler
for CUDA.
Should help with #21914.
properties LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS are propagated
to the device link step.
To control which options are selected for normal link and device link steps,
the $<DEVICE_LINK> and $<HOST_LINK> generator expressions can be used.
Fixes: #18265
Since commit 0f150b69d3 (AIX: Explicitly compute shared object exports
for both XL and GNU, 2019-07-11, v3.16.0-rc1~418^2~2) we always export
all symbols from shared libraries by default. Add a new target property
called `AIX_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS` that can be explicitly set to OFF to
suppress this behavior and export no symbols by default.
