Summary:                    Generator expressions to support test properties
Description: 
As part of a function (cet_test()) to define a test, I invoke add_test(), which
invokes a test wrapper script which needs to know the correct return code to use
if requirements are not satisfied for the test. The invoker of the cet_test()
function may set the SKIP_RETURN_CODE property on the test, and I need to be
able to take account of that. If we were talking about target properties, I
could quite happily say $<TARGET_PROPERTY:TGT,PROP> as part of the COMMAND
definition to add_test(). There does not appear to be an analogous
$<TEST_PROPERTY:TST,PROP> I can use to obtain SKIP_RETURN_CODE from the current
test properties.

Steps to Reproduce: 
Use add_test to invoke a COMMAND (echo, say) to which you try to pass the value
of SKIP_RETURN_CODE to the echo command. As of 3.3.2, there is no way that I can
find to do this.
