LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES is a property you can set if you want to override the
set of libraries that appear in the link-interface of one of your own libraries.
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES is the same for IMPORTED targets. E.g.
suppose you have this:
add_library(foo ${FOO_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(foo bar)
install(EXPORT ${PROJECT_NAME}Dependencies DESTINATION <somewhere>)
The created <somewhere>/${PROJECT_NAME}Dependencies.cmake file will list "bar"
in the LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES of "foo". This property is essentially a copy
of LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES property of "foo" in the build tree (if it is
defined).
IMPORTED_LINK_DEPENDENT_LIBRARIES is AFAIK similar to
IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIES but refers to dependencies that are
"implementation details".
