Brad King a639689c16 Check*CompilerFlag: Revert to previous method used to pass flags (#15641)
Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~397^2 (Check*CompilerFlag: Refactor method used
to pass flags, 2015-02-24) these check modules pass the flags to the
compiler front-end during linking as well as during compilation.  This
breaks checks for flags like '-x c++' that are meant only for the
compilation step.  Revert the change and add a test covering a
compiler-only flag.

# CheckCCompilerFlag
# ------------------
#
# Check whether the C compiler supports a given flag.
#
# CHECK_C_COMPILER_FLAG(<flag> <var>)
#
# ::
#
# <flag> - the compiler flag
# <var> - variable to store the result
# Will be created as an internal cache variable.
#
# This internally calls the check_c_source_compiles macro and sets
# CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS to <flag>. See help for
# CheckCSourceCompiles for a listing of variables that can otherwise
# modify the build. The result only tells that the compiler does not
# give an error message when it encounters the flag. If the flag has
# any effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.
