ENH: Define target-specific support directories

This creates method cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory to compute a
target-specific support directory in the build tree.  It uses the
"CMakeFiles/<name>.dir" convention already used by the Makefile
generators.  The method will be useful for any code that needs to
generate per-target information into the build tree for use by CMake
tools that do not run at generate time.
