ENH: Clarify link interface documentation
The LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property does not apply for STATIC
libraries. The IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property does apply
for STATIC libraries. State both explicitly in the documentation.
Also, clarify that the per-configuration version of these properties
completely overrids the generic version.
