[CMake] Adding a target to 'all' that was previously excluded

[Petr Kmoch]

Hi Andrew.

All that the EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL argument of add_executable() does is set that
target's property EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL to TRUE. So all you need to do is set
that property to false again:

  set_property(TARGET blah PROPERTY EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL FALSE)
