target_capnp_sources
--------------------

This function adds build steps to generate C++ files from Cap'n Proto files
and build them as part of a specified target.

Arguments:

  target: The name of the CMake target (e.g., a library or executable) to
    which the generated source files will be added. This target must already
    be defined elsewhere in the CMake scripts.

  include_prefix: Absolute path indicating what portion of capnp source paths
    should be used in relative #include statements in the generated C++
    files. For example, if the .capnp path is /home/src/lib/schema.capnp
    and include_prefix is /home/src, generated includes look like:

      #include <lib/schema.capnp.h>

    And if include_prefix is /home/src/lib, generated includes look like:

      #include <schema.capnp.h>

    The specified include_prefix should be ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} or a
    subdirectory of it to include files relative to the project root. It can
    be ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} to include files relative to the current
    source directory.

Additional Unnamed Arguments:

  After `target` and `include_prefix`, all unnamed arguments are treated as
  paths to `.capnp` schema files. These should be paths relative to
  ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}.

Optional Keyword Arguments:

  IMPORT_PATHS: Specifies additional directories to search for imported
    `.capnp` files.

Example:
  # Assuming `my_library` is a target and `lib/` contains `.capnp` schema
  # files with imports from `include/`.
  target_capnp_sources(my_library "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}"
                       lib/schema1.capnp lib/schema2.capnp
                       IMPORT_PATHS ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
