When this option is specified, all targets with a name matching `*_test` only get their dependencies built, but are not linked. This is intended to validate source code validity for tests without incurring the cost of linking. This patch uses a new option (as opposed to overloading `linkmode`) because it needs to affect only the `_test` targets; not all targets.
