Since commit ad502502 (cmMakefile: Track configured files so we can
regenerate them, 2013-06-18) cmMakefile::ConfigureFile records the
configured file as an output file generated by CMake. The intention is
that for make and ninja we can re-run CMake when one of the files it
generates goes missing. However, files configured temporarily in
CMakeTmp directories by Check* modules do not live past the CMake
invocation.
Teach cmMakefile::FinalPass to stop tracking files that don't
exist after we are finished generation.

Teach cmMakefile::ConfigureFile to skip tracking files with "CMakeTmp"
in their path, just like cmCoreTryCompile::TryCompileCode does to
avoid adding dependencies on temporary source files. In the future
we will need a more general filter to avoid recording as CMake
outputs any files that do not exist at the end of generation.
Currently when a configured file is removed from the build directory,
running the build command will not regenerate the file. Now detect
this and will rerun cmake properly when a user issues the build
command.
AddCMakeDependFile and AddCMakeOutputFile both store as std::string
and all calling sites use std::string. So instead of creating more
temporary objects, lets just use std::strings.
Through use of libarchive internally we support .zip files as well as
.tar format. The ExternalProject module makes use of this feature.
Document support officially.
Expose the internal system information API to the CMake language. For
example, it is useful to see how much memory the system has available to
estimate an upper limit of tests that can run in parallel.
Each call to AddDefinition has overhead for variable watches and such.
Avoid extra calls when not needed.
This decreases the configure time for ParaView by 10 seconds on my
machine. Without the change about 1,000,000 set-to-empty calls were
being made. After the change it drops to about 100,000.
The SHA512_Update implementation accesses input data via 64-bit
integers. This requires alignment of the input buffer on some
architectures. Align our stack-allocated buffer for file content to
satisfy this requirement.
Describe explicitly the scope in which enable_language must be
invoked to handle all direct and indirect uses of a language.
While at it, re-word documentation of the OPTIONAL keyword to
avoid confusion over its partial implementation.
