Teach target_* commands to set INTERFACE properties of IMPORTED targets
Now, several `INTERFACE_*` properties can be set on `IMPORTED` targets, not only via `set_property` and `set_target_properties` but also via `target_compile_definitions`, `target_compile_features`, `target_compile_options`, `target_include_directories`, `target_sources` and `target_link_libraries`. Fixes: #15689 Issue: #17197
