BUG: Fix <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property/variable docs

The CMAKE_<CONFIG>_POSTFIX variable and <CONFIG>_POSTFIX property were
not documented.  This updates the CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX and DEBUG_POSTFIX
documentation to refer to the more general variable/property.  It also
clarifies that the variable is used as the property default only for
non-executable targets.  See issue #7868.
