Enable modules to declare target artifacts
Such artifacts appear to rules just like target artifacts of products.
This functionality will be useful for auto-generating qbs modules from
products.
[ChangeLog] Modules can now declare target artifacts using the new
filesAreTargets property of the Group item.
