Defer check for sources within a target until generation.
The `add_library` and `add_executable` commands can now be called with
no source-files and won't generate a warning or error message, as long
as source-files will be added later via the `target_sources` command.
If during the generation step still no sources are associated with
targets created by such calls a useful error message will be generated
and generation fails.
Targets of type `INTERFACE_LIBRARY`, `UTILITY` or `GLOBAL_TARGET` are
excluded from this check because we do not need sources for these target
types during generation.
Fixes: #16872
