cmTarget: add support for C++ module fileset types
C++ modules have two variants which are of importance to CMake: - `CXX_MODULES`: interface modules (those using `export module M;`, `export module M:part;`, or `module M:internal_part;`) - `CXX_MODULE_HEADER_UNITS`: importable header units Creating C++ modules or partitions are *not* supported in any other source listing. This is because the source files must be installed (so their scope matters), but not part of usage requirements (what it means for a module source to be injected into a consumer is not clear at this moment). Due to the way `FILE_SET` works with scopes, they are a perfect fit as long as `INTERFACE` is not allowed (which it is not).
