Fixing minor version inconsistency in actions/checkout.
Expanded README with detailed instructions for testing installations and re-exporting dependencies using BUILD_INTERFACE, clarifying CMake best practices. Updated cpp-library-install.cmake to extract dependencies from BUILD_INTERFACE generator expressions for correct find_dependency() generation. Added an 'install' preset to CMakePresets.json for streamlined installation and testing of installed packages.
Updates the dependency export logic to only process BUILD_INTERFACE targets that are namespaced (external dependencies). Non-namespaced BUILD_INTERFACE targets, which are local build targets, are now skipped to avoid incorrect dependency tracking.
