Summary:                    Allow TARGET_OBJECTS generator expression in
non-target contexts
Description: 
The limitation on use of TARGET_OBJECTS in add_custom_{target,command} and
file(GENERATE) was added to avoid macro replacement problems from IDEs

With some additional design work, the problems could be solvable and the
generator expression could be allowed.
