We just need someone who knows something about cmake to approve it! |

The docu suggests that it can be used for not IMPORTED targets but simply reading the description gives me headache. It's a mess that can go wrong quite easily and is basically only provided for compatibility, so I think this PR is a good change. |

CMake allows getting LOCATION property only on IMPORTED targets:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/LOCATION.html
Currently, curl cmake avoids getting LOCATION property on INTERFACE targets only.
With this change, it will avoid getting LOCATION property on all non-imported targets, not only INTERFACE targets.
This is required when both curl and zlib are built in the same CMake project (for example, when build with CMake package manager: https://github.com/scapix-com/cmodule), in which case ZLIB::ZLIB is a normal CMake target (not IMPORTED and not INTERFACE).
