Summary:                    Allow generator expressions in add_custom_command
(and add_custom_target)
Description: 
Now that LOCATION is disallowed, using a target path as an argument to a custom
command is not possible without warnings (or making CMP0026 OLD).

At least OUTPUT, COMMAND, MAIN_DEPENDENCY, DEPENDS, WORKING_DIRECTORY, and
SOURCES (for a_c_t) should expand generator expressions. Some may already do so
via properties being genex-expanded already (just WORKING_DIRECTORY IIRC).
