Add genex support to TEST_LAUNCHER and CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR

Evaluate generator expressions in these properties, as they apply to
`add_test`, `add_custom_command`, and `add_custom_target`.

The `CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` variable's `try_run` behavior occurs
at configure time and so cannot support generator expressions.
