Languages: Add support for Objective-C

Add entries in Modules and Modules/Platform to support
Objective-C compiler determination and identification.
Add Modules to check Objective-C compiler flags, source
compilations, program checks, etc...

Use OBJC as the designator of the language, eg:

project(foo OBJC)

Add various tests for Objective-C language features.  Add
tests to preserve C++ handling of .m and .mm files when
OBJC is not a configured language.

+CheckOBJCCompilerFlag
+---------------------
+
+Check whether the Objective-C compiler supports a given flag.
+
+.. command:: check_objc_compiler_flag
+
+  .. code-block:: cmake
+
+    check_objc_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
+
+  Check that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the compiler without
+  a diagnostic.  Stores the result in an internal cache entry
+  named ``<var>``.
+
+This command temporarily sets the ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS`` variable
+and calls the ``check_objc_source_compiles`` macro from the
+:module:`CheckOBJCSourceCompiles` module.  See documentation of that
+module for a listing of variables that can otherwise modify the build.
+
+A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not
+issue a diagnostic message when given the flag.  Whether the flag has any
+effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.
+
+.. note::
+  Since the :command:`try_compile` command forwards flags from variables
+  like :variable:`CMAKE_OBJC_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>`, unknown flags
+  in such variables may cause a false negative for this check.
