target_link_libraries: Fix out-of-dir linking of a list of targets
In a case like target_link_libraries(targetInOtherDir PUBLIC "$<1:a;b>") then all entries in the list need to be looked up in the caller's scope. Previously our `::@(directory-id)` suffix would apply only to the last entry. Instead surround the entire entry by a pair `::@(directory-id);...;::@` so that the `::@` syntax can encode a directory lookup scope change evaluated as the list is processed. Fixes: #20204

.. note::
A call to :command:`target_link_libraries(<target> ...)` may update this
property on ``<target>``. If ``<target>`` was not created in the same
- directory as the call then :command:`target_link_libraries` will add a
- suffix of the form ``::@(directory-id)`` to each entry, where the
- ``::@`` is a separator and the ``(directory-id)`` is unspecified.
+ directory as the call then :command:`target_link_libraries` will wrap each

+ literal and the ``(directory-id)`` is unspecified.
This tells the generators that the named libraries must be looked up in
the scope of the caller rather than in the scope in which the
``<target>`` was created. Valid directory ids are stripped on export
