Utility targets may not have link dependencies.
CMake 2.8.12 and lower allowed using utility targets in the left hand side
position of the :command:target_link_libraries command. This is an indicator
of a bug in user code.
The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore attempts to set the link
libraries of utility targets. The NEW behavior for this policy is to
report an error if an attempt is made to set the link libraries of a
utility target.
