Check*SourceRuns: Update documentation

This updates the following modules:
- CheckCSourceRuns
- CheckCXXSourceRuns
- CheckFortranSourceRuns
- CheckOBJCSourceRuns
- CheckOBJCXXSourceRuns
- CheckSourceRuns

Changes:
- Added intro code blocks showing how to include these modules.
- Used word "command" instead of "macro".
- Added "Commands" sections to have a clearer overview of the modules at
  first encounter.
- Reworded commands descriptions and arguments a bit.
- Added a rubric title for variables that affect the checks.
- Added "Examples" sections.
- Added "See Also" sections.
- Added few more examples in the CheckSourceRuns module to show how to
  use this module with different languages, `CMAKE_REQUIRED_*` variables,
  and mentioned bracket argument syntax a bit.

Support for ``HIP`` language.
``<code>``
The source code to be tested. It must contain a valid source program.
For example, it must contain at least a ``main()`` function (in C/C++),
or a ``program`` unit (in Fortran).
``<variable>``
Name of the internal cache variable with the result of the check. If
the code builds and runs with exit code ``0``, success is indicated by
a boolean true value. Failure to build or run is indicated by a boolean
false value, such as an empty string or an error message.

:module:`CMakePushCheckState` module to modify required compile definitions
and libraries when checking whether the C function ``sched_getcpu()`` is
supported and operational at runtime. For example, on some systems, the
``sched_getcpu()`` function may be available at compile time but not actually
implemented by the kernel. In such cases, it returns ``-1`` and sets
``errno`` to ``ENOSYS``. This check verifies that ``sched_getcpu()`` runs

``HAVE_SCHED_GETCPU``.
