Brad King c7310917e6 Help: Clarify status of link_libraries command
The command has been documented as 'deprecated', but it is not really
slated for removal and can still be used.  Clarify this in the
documentation.  While at it, revise the documentation to use wording
more consistent with that now in target_link_libraries.

link_libraries
--------------
Link libraries to all targets added later.
::
link_libraries([item1 [item2 [...]]]
[[debug|optimized|general] <item>] ...)
Specify libraries or flags to use when linking any targets created later in
the current directory or below by commands such as :command:`add_executable`
or :command:`add_library`. See the :command:`target_link_libraries` command
for meaning of arguments.
.. note::
The :command:`target_link_libraries` command should be preferred whenever
possible. Library dependencies are chained automatically, so directory-wide
specification of link libraries is rarely needed.
