try_compile: Add option to control type of target
Create a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` option to specify use of `add_library(... STATIC ...)` for the generated test project. This will be useful for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot link a binary without custom flags or scripts.

+try_compile-target-type
+-----------------------
+
+* The :command:`try_compile` command learned to check a new
+ :variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` variable to optionally
+ build a static library instead of an executable. This is useful
+ for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot link binaries without
+ custom flags or scripts.
