make IDEs aware of the headers

[Andrey Butirsky]

Initially, I thought it's a Qt Creator problem too and filed an issue there:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-28638

It happened out it's not a bug but a feature, also backed by CMake 
maintainers (see the link in the OP):

    The build system is our source of truth for which file belongs to
    which project. Earlier versions of Qt Creator attempted to work
    around incomplete project files using heuristics, which lead to
    various problems. We don't want to go back to that.

So the issue was closed as "Won't fix" upstream, and the only way to fix 
it seems to be adjust our CMake files.

We also tried to do it in the other places:
polkit-kde-agent-1!18 (merged) 
<https://invent.kde.org/plasma/polkit-kde-agent-1/-/merge_requests/18>
So I really hope it won't face much resistance here, too.
