Corentin Le Molgat ff6133ab49 cmake: Fix declspec of gtest flag when using BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON and absl
On windows flags declaration must be prepend by `GTEST_API_`
to have the correct declspec (dllexport or dllimport)

This patch also fix super build integration of googletest by adding the necessary `INSTALL_RPATH` and `$<BUILD_INTERFACE:` needed to be able to `FetchContent` or `add_subdirectory()` googletest in a user CMake project.

Fix #4718
related to abseil/abseil-cpp#1817

Googletest Mocking (gMock) Framework

Overview

Google's framework for writing and using C++ mock classes. It can help you derive better designs of your system and write better tests.

It is inspired by:

It is designed with C++'s specifics in mind.

gMock:

  • Provides a declarative syntax for defining mocks.
  • Can define partial (hybrid) mocks, which are a cross of real and mock objects.
  • Handles functions of arbitrary types and overloaded functions.
  • Comes with a rich set of matchers for validating function arguments.
  • Uses an intuitive syntax for controlling the behavior of a mock.
  • Does automatic verification of expectations (no record-and-replay needed).
  • Allows arbitrary (partial) ordering constraints on function calls to be expressed.
  • Lets a user extend it by defining new matchers and actions.
  • Does not use exceptions.
  • Is easy to learn and use.

GoogleMock is a part of GoogleTest C++ testing framework and a subject to the same requirements.
