cmFileCommand: Add CREATE_LINK subcommand
This brings the functionality of `cmake -E create_symlink` and more to scripts.
The default behavior is to create hard links.
The `SYMBOLIC` argument can be used to create symlinks instead.
The `COPY_ON_ERROR` argument enables a fallback to copying the file in case the link fails.
The `RESULT <var>` retrieves the error message generated by the system.
It is set to "0" on success.
Fixes: #16926
