D12672: Use a target in FindDiscount (modern cmake) rather than variables

  1. The current code only works if discount is installed into existing locations (discount_INCLUDE_DIR is never used), and as a user of the FindPackage, you don't have to care about the include directory. It comes from the target.
  2. The whole thing with targets vs variables:  if you link against a double colon target, it fails at cmake time if something is wrong. If something is wrong with the variable, it fails at link time. E.g. trying to link discard::Lib fails at cmake time, linking ${discard_LIBRARIES} gives a link error.
  
  Using targets is much less error prone, and in general encouraged.
