ENH: Enforce global target name uniqueness.

  - Error if imported target is involved in conflict
  - Error for non-imported target conflict unless
    CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY <= 2.4
  - Include OUTPUT_NAME property in error message
  - Update add_executable and add_library command documentation
