add_library: Allow arbitrary non-linked sources in OBJECT libraries
Loosen this restriction on OBJECT libraries to allow source files of any name to be generated by custom commands or listed for reference in IDE projects so long as they would not affect linking of a normal library. Update the rejection message to be more specific about the looser restriction. Extend the ObjectLibrary test to cover a ".cmake" file generated by a custom command in an OBJECT library.

+----------------------------------
+
+* :ref:`Object Libraries` may now have extra sources that do not
+ compile to object files so long as they would not affect linking
+ of a normal library (e.g. ``.dat`` is okay but not ``.def``).
