Pass EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL from directory to targets
When a target is created it now inherits the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL property from its directory. This change makes it possible to include a target in "all", even if its directory has been marked as EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL.

+Targets inherit the :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property from the directory
+that they are created in. When a directory is excluded, all of its targets will
+have :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` set to ``TRUE``. After creating such a target
+you can change its :prop_tgt:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` property to ``FALSE``. This
+will cause the target to be included in the default build target.
