LINK_OPTIONS: Add new family of properties

This family enable to manage link flags

Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS

Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties

Fixes: #16543
