Replace old-school cmake with the so-called "Modern CMake", meaning
preferring using targets and properties over directory settings and
variables. This allows greater flexibility, robustness and clarity over
how the code works.
The following deprecated commands will be replaced with their modern
alternatives that operates on a specific target, rather than all targets
in the current directory:
- add_compile_options -> target_compile_options
- include_directories -> target_include_directories
- link_libraries -> target_link_libraries
- add_definitions -> target_compile_definitions
There are mainly four main targets that we currently use: nvim, libnvim,
nvim-test (used by unittests) and ${texe} (used by
check-single-includes). The goal is to explicitly define the
dependencies of each target fully, rather than having everything be
dependent on everything else.
Keeps using add_definitions for compatibility with older CMake.
Newer CMake (3.12) would have `add_compile_definitions`, but it is not
required, since `add_defitions` was meant to be used for
compile/preprocessor definitions initially anyway.
