target_compile_options: Add syntax to specify shell strings
Options specified via `COMPILE_OPTIONS` and `INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS` are deduplicated, but individual options can legitimately be duplicated when grouped with other options, e.g. -D A -D B After deduplication that becomes `-D A B`. Therefore we need a way to treat groups of options as units during deduplication. A simple approach is to specify each group as one option, e.g. "-D A" "-D B" However, that conflicts with options that legitimately have spaces. To break this ambiguity, add a `SHELL:` prefix syntax to specify that an option should be parsed like shell command line arguments after deduplication, e.g. "SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B" These will survive deduplication intact, and then be parsed to produce `-D A -D B` on the final command line. Fixes: #15826
