Summary:                    In some cases, add_library(<name> OBJECT <src> ...) 
failure with unexpected warnings.
Description: 
In case TARGET_SUPPORT_SHARED_LIBS is false, Calling add_library(... OBJECT ...)
will get warnings below.

"ADD_LIBRARY for library foobar  is used with the MODULE  option, but the target
platform supports only STATIC libraries.  Building it STATIC instead. This may
lead to problems."

And type is forced to cmTarget::STATIC_LIBRARY.


Actually adding "object library" will succeed even if its target isn't support
shared libs.
The current implementation is unsuitable, I think.
