cmake: support grouping of compile options for compiler testing

Fixes: #47588

Kitware decided to fail compiler tests of single options if the
compiler reported only a warning and not an error:
github.com/Kitware/CMake/commit/f745e0497ee71d35fd1b3524b1636a72da76c266
which affects CMake 3.23.0 and 3.23.1

This change was later reverted in CMake >=3.23.2 and >=3.24.0
github.com/Kitware/CMake/commit/4941887d7defecb3016d2bd94d3a45754251ca56

Although the immediate issue is related to CMake, and has been fixed
reverted in later releases, then it still makes sense to be able to
group compiler options together that generally are depending on each
other to function correctly.

This commit introduces the possibility to group compiler options which
must be tested together.
It uses same approach as
> add_compile_options("SHELL:<option1> <option2> ...")

Usage:
> check_set_compiler_property(PROPERTY <property>
>                             "SHELL:<option1> <option2> ..."
> )

Will test the option together.
