Revert commit v3.13.0-rc1~441^2 (install: Teach CODE,SCRIPT modes to
evaluate generator expressions, 2018-05-29). Unfortunately it has
been found to break existing code in a real project, e.g.
install(CODE [[
message("$<FOOBAR>")
]])
Address this regression by reverting support for the 3.13 release
series. Support can be restored later with a policy for compatibility.
Issue: #15785Fixes: #18435
Documentation added by commit 4b35dab891 (Help: Document how escape
sequences work in a regex, 2018-07-18) is only correct for backslashes
inside `[]` groups. The regex engine does interpret `\` escapes
elsewhere. Fix the docs.

The `optimized` and `debug` keyword items are meaningful only to
the `target_link_libraries` command and have no meaning when
produced by a generator expression. State this explicitly.
Also recommend use of a quoted argument when the genex itself
may contain a semicolon.
Fixes: #18424
If a project() call does not have DESCRIPTION or HOMEPAGE_URL
options, it must still set the relevant variables or else those variables will
inherit values from an earlier project() call. That is inconsistent with how
VERSION is handled and is likely to be unexpected. The docs were also
ambiguous about what should happen in such cases.
These new capabilities enable to manage link directories
Two new properties:
* target properties: LINK_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
One new command
* target_link_directories(): to populate target properties

Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.
Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in
the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target.
Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties
to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other
than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add
minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it.
Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that
only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be
looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add
policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a
compatible way.

The memory size query implementations report in units of one mebibyte
(2^20). Clarify the unit in the documentation because "megabyte" might
also be interpreted as 10^6.
Many existing tutorials suggest `include_directories` but that does
not handle propagation to dependencies and such. Add a link to its
documentation suggesting `target_include_directories` instead.
Add documentation for both the CMake variable and environment variable
of this name pattern. Update references to these names to link to their
documents. Clarify the pattern used to construct their names.
