Restore use of a project-local `STATIC` library to provide the stdlib's
module initialization symbols, as CMake 4.2's experimental support did.
In commit fa10dc6c22 (Experimental/CXXModules: Implement EcoStd Module
Metadata parser, 2025-10-21, v4.3.0-rc1~483^2) we switched to an
imported target to provide the BMI under the assumption that stdlib
implementations provide the symbols themselves, but they don't yet.
While refactoring the module metadata parser's properties logic, also
fix a relative path issue for local arguments.
Fixes: #27426, #27626, #27635

To manage the generation step, introduce cmGeneratorFileSet and
cmGeneratorFileSets classes.
These reorganizations of the code are done in preparation of the
implementation of SOURCES file set type as well as user's file set types.
Issues: #27550, #27383
Serializing defaults inside each preprocessor define inflats manifest
size and makes auditing them more difficult. When "value" is empty
or "undef" is false, don't serialize them at all.
Support the module manifest format added in !11422 as an output format
of dyndep collation for exports. This is necessary for CPS support of
modules, as CPS uses module manifests to describe C++20 modules.
Additionally, adds some CMake-vendor fields to the module manifest to
support compile-options and compile-features on module sources.
Adds a parser and serializer for the EcoStd Module Metadata format
RFC: https://github.com/ecostd/rfcs/pull/3
This adapts the existing experimental support for import std; to use
the new parser. The CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULES_JSON is now the canonical
variable for controlling how CMake discovers the stdlib module metadata,
and is used directly by compiler detection.
Toolchains can still override the __CMAKE::CXX## targets if they wish,
either in conjunction with CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON or not. It is
possible to disable automatic detection of
CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON by setting it to the empty string.
When available, the CMAKE_CXX_STDLIB_MODULE_JSON will be used to create
all requested C++ stdlibs which do not already have targets.
