To allow simplifying the binutils ld hack, by chaining the original imported target to curl's local duplicate target. Also to allow linking to dependencies' native imported targes via their CMake Configs, which may similarly be chained by default. Fixing (seen on Linux with simplified binutils hack via curl#20839): ``` Requires: Requires.private: libzstd openssl zlib Libs: -L${libdir} -lcurl -Libs.private: -lcrypto -lssl -lz -lzstd +Libs.private: -lOpenSSL::Crypto -lZLIB::ZLIB -lcrypto -lssl -lz -lzstd Cflags: -I${includedir} Cflags.private: -DCURL_STATICLIB Error: Process completed with exit code ``` Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/22768301699/job/66041980258?pr=20839 Cherry-picked from curl#20814 Cherry-picked from curl#20839

To allow simplifying the binutils ld hack, by chaining the original imported target to curl's local duplicate target. Also to allow linking to dependencies' native imported targets via their CMake Configs, which will always be hooked up to a `CURL::` interface, and may also be chained upstream. Fixing (seen on Linux with simplified binutils hack via #20839): ``` Requires: Requires.private: libzstd openssl zlib Libs: -L${libdir} -lcurl -Libs.private: -lcrypto -lssl -lz -lzstd +Libs.private: -lOpenSSL::Crypto -lZLIB::ZLIB -lcrypto -lssl -lz -lzstd Cflags: -I${includedir} Cflags.private: -DCURL_STATICLIB Error: Process completed with exit code ``` Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/22768301699/job/66041980258?pr=20839 Note this makes it possible to run into an infinite loop because CMake allows cyclic dependencies. It isn't added by curl's CMake script nor by any dependencies as defined by default, but may happen in theory with custom-created targets. In such case CMake automatically stops with an error at 1000 iterations. I find it overkill to add custom protection for it. Cherry-picked from #20814 Cherry-picked from #20839 Closes #20840

Instead hook up the upstream target name as-is to the local wrapper
target.
To:
curl-config.cmake.Before this patch it had no guard for
IMPORTEDtargets even thoughfind_dependencies()is not guaranteed to create the target expectedif it already existed and was potentially created differently.
