add_library: Allow arbitrary non-linked sources in OBJECT libraries
Loosen this restriction on OBJECT libraries to allow source files of any
name to be generated by custom commands or listed for reference in IDE
projects so long as they would not affect linking of a normal library.
Update the rejection message to be more specific about the looser
restriction.
Extend the ObjectLibrary test to cover a ".cmake" file generated by a
custom command in an OBJECT library.
