try_compile: Pass linker flags into test project (#14066)
Copy CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS into the test project generated by try_compile, just like we already copy CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS. Add CMake Policy CMP0056 to activate this behavior in a compatible way, but do not warn by default when the policy is not set since it will affect all try_compile calls. Extend the RunCMake.try_compile test with a case covering this behavior for each policy setting.
