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
