A shared library (unlike a .a), has its dependencies recorded in the library and
we can pass PRIVATE to target_link_libraries.

This patch then removes some bogus dependencies when using
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON. For example, we go from

build lib/CodeGen/CMakeFiles/LLVMCodeGen.dir/AggressiveAntiDepBreaker.cpp.o:
CXX_COMPILER /home/espindola/llvm/llvm/lib/CodeGen/AggressiveAntiDepBreaker.cpp
|| include/llvm/IR/intrinsics_gen lib/libLLVMSupport.so
lib/libLLVMCore.so lib/libLLVMBitReader.so
lib/libLLVMTransformUtils.so lib/libLLVMInstCombine.so
lib/libLLVMScalarOpts.so lib/libLLVMipa.so lib/libLLVMAnalysis.so
lib/libLLVMMCParser.so lib/libLLVMMC.so lib/libLLVMObject.so
lib/libLLVMTarget.so lib/libLLVMProfileData.so

to

build lib/CodeGen/CMakeFiles/LLVMCodeGen.dir/AggressiveAntiDepBreaker.cpp.o:
CXX_COMPILER /home/espindola/llvm/llvm/lib/CodeGen/AggressiveAntiDepBreaker.cpp
|| include/llvm/IR/intrinsics_gen lib/libLLVMSupport.so
lib/libLLVMCore.so lib/libLLVMTransformUtils.so
lib/libLLVMScalarOpts.so lib/libLLVMAnalysis.so lib/libLLVMMC.so
lib/libLLVMTarget.so

In fact, build.ninja goes from 5231028 bytes to 4896759 bytes.

With this, old verisons of bfd ld (2.24 is OK, 2.23 warns) will print a bogus
warning when building with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS.
