cmake: fix `LOCATION` property read errors in target debug function

Exclude reading certain props for certain target types to avoid these errors:
```
CMake Error at CMake/Utilities.cmake:71 (get_property):
  The LOCATION property may not be read from target "...".  Use the target
  name directly with add_custom_command, or use the generator expression
  $<TARGET_FILE>, as appropriate.
```
(and the same in line 78.)

Follow-up to 855acb3bb07e0dd06b5722218eb5fded333f7ce0 #17701

Closes #20828
