Description
request from visit team:
we would like to be able to call blt_add_library, and then add sources + headers incrementally after the lib is added.
We have source files for libs that span directories, curating a list with all sources before we call `blt_add_library` requires extra bookkeeping.
We do want all of our sources to have the blt processing logic that blt_add_library provides.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing blt_add_library entry point and how it applies BLT processing to sources and headers. Define the incremental-addition behavior for libraries spanning directories, then verify that sources and headers added after the initial call receive the same processing as those passed to blt_add_library.
