Brad King 700f1c3b2b Honor visibility properties for all target types (#15556)
The <LANG>_VISIBILITY_PRESET and VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN were first
merged in commit v2.8.12~322 (Merge topic 'VISIBILITY_PRESET-property',
2013-06-05) but worked only for shared libraries and executables with
exports.  Prior to commit v3.0.0-rc1~581^2 (GenerateExportHeader:
Deprecate add_compiler_export_flags function., 2013-09-02) the
add_compiler_export_flags function was used to add visibility flags to
all targets.

The visibility flags are useful for sources in all target types because
they may be later linked into shared libraries or executables with
exports.  Introduce policy CMP0063 to enable them for all target types
while preserving compatibility with existing projects that do not expect
this.

VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN
-------------------------
Whether to add a compile flag to hide symbols of inline functions
The ``VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN`` property determines whether a flag for
hiding symbols for inline functions, such as ``-fvisibility-inlines-hidden``,
should be used when invoking the compiler. This property affects compilation
in sources of all types of targets (subject to policy :policy:`CMP0063`).
This property is initialized by
the value of the :variable:`CMAKE_VISIBILITY_INLINES_HIDDEN` variable if it
is set when a target is created.
