Summary0014742: Add a FRAMEWORK_SUFFIX or FRAMEWORK_EXTENSION property to change .framework
DescriptionThe target property SUFFIX and/or BUNDLE_EXTENSION doesn't rename the extension of a framework.

For e.g. an Adobe InDesign plugin is a framework but with the extension ".InDesignPlugin"

Maybe this could also be for other tools/programs too.
Steps To ReproduceUse the following commands to create a framework

project(MyPlugin)

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} SHARED ${HEADERS} ${SOURCES})
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
                      FRAMEWORK TRUE
                      SUFFIX ".InDesignPlugin")

Expected result: MyPlugin.InDesignPlugin

----------------------------------------------------------------------

set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES
                      FRAMEWORK TRUE
                      BUNDLE_EXTENSION ".InDesignPlugin")

Expected result: MyPlugin.InDesignPlugin

It is common in cross-platform projects to have a shared library or module that also happens to be marked as a framework on OS X builds. Therefore it is possible that SUFFIX is already used to change the extension of the normal build on non-OS X platforms. Even if this is not the case, the proposed behavior is still specific to frameworks. Therefore I think the property name should be prefixed in "FRAMEWORK_".

This will take a bit of work because there are many places in the code that hard-code ".framework" as an extension.

It works for the "Xcode" generator if the property "XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_WRAPPER_EXTENSION" is set to "InDesignPlugin", but it does not work for the "Unix Makefiles" generator
