The MSVC C compiler has no notion of C language standards or flags.
Tell CMake to assume that all language standards are available.
Record available C language features depending on the version of
the compiler.
Fixes: #17858
When a `...<max>` version is given that is larger than the running
version of CMake, assume that the project is aware of a newer version of
CMake and that any unknown arguments are future arguments. This will
allow future versions of CMake to add arguments to the command that
projects can use without introducing errors in older versions of CMake
(back to 3.12).
Revert commit v3.8.0-rc1~305^2 (Remove CTestTestfile.cmake when BUILD_TESTING
is OFF, 2016-11-14) again. We reverted it once in commit v3.8.0-rc3~22^2
(Revert "Remove CTestTestfile.cmake when BUILD_TESTING is OFF", 2017-03-06) but
it was accidentally restored by commit v3.11.0-rc1~387^2 (server: add
"ctestInfo" request to get test info, 2017-10-25), perhaps due to conflict
resolution during rebase.
We cannot remove `CTestTestfile.cmake` when testing is off because it breaks
projects that never enable testing but create their own `CTestTestfile.cmake`
manually instead. Revert the change again and add a test case.

Teach `cmake_minimum_required` and `cmake_policy(VERSION)` to support a
version range of the form `<min>[...<max>]`. Define this to mean that
version `<min>` is required, but known policies up to those introduced
by `<max>` will be set to `NEW`. This will allow projects to easily
specify a range of versions for which they have been updated.
Policy `CMP0074` was added by commit eb35d8884b (find_package: Use
PackageName_ROOT variables as search prefixes, 2018-03-15). Revise the
logic to avoid warning when a `PackageName_ROOT` variable is set to
empty since that won't change the search behavior. Also, when we do
warn include the variable value(s) for reference.
This sets variables like PROJECT_HOMEPAGE_URL, which can be
used as default values for various things (packaging modules,
doxygen defaults, etc.). Some packaging modules have been
updated to do this as part of this commit.

This feature was originally added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*:
Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and documented by
commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path
group, 2017-05-03). However, we had to disable the feature and remove
the documentation in commit v3.9.1~2^2 (find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT
search path group for CMake 3.9, 2017-08-08) due to breaking projects
that used `PackageName_ROOT` variables themselves.
Add policy `CMP0074` to restore the `PackageName_ROOT` variable behavior
in a compatible way. Also revise the stack of root paths to store the
paths themselves rather than the package names. This way the policy can
be considered at the `find_package` call site instead of individual
`find_` calls inside a find module.

Issue: #17144
This change introduces an additional property that may be set on a
target to allow additional properties to be exported. Normally only a
limited number of properties are exported.
Additional properties may be exported by simply setting the
`EXPORT_PROPERTIES` property on a target that is exported.
Features recorded by commit v3.6.0-rc1~120^2~5 (Features: Record
standards and features for Intel C++ on UNIX, 2016-04-28) for the Intel
compiler left out initializer list support because our test case in
`Tests/CompileFeatures/cxx_generalized_initializers.cpp` caused an
internal compiler error. It turns out this is because the Intel
compiler asserts the `initializer_list` constructor signatures to verify
that they match its own `<initializer_list>` header. It was our dummy
implementation used to test the language feature without any headers
that caused the ICE. Revise it to use a constructor signature accepted
by the Intel compiler.
Fixes: #17829
In gtest_discover_tests(), the TIMEOUT keyword was making it
impossible to set the TIMEOUT test property via the PROPERTIES
keyword. This would be a frequent case, but it doesn't complain
and instead silently does something different to what would
normally be expected. The TIMEOUT keyword has been renamed
to DISCOVERY_TIMEOUT, thereby removing the clash.
This is a breaking change. 3.10.1 and 3.10.2 were the only versions
that supported the TIMEOUT keyword and uses of it were likely
not working as intended.
Fixes: #17801
Options specified via `COMPILE_OPTIONS` and `INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`
are deduplicated, but individual options can legitimately be duplicated
when grouped with other options, e.g.
-D A -D B
After deduplication that becomes `-D A B`. Therefore we need a way to
treat groups of options as units during deduplication. A simple approach
is to specify each group as one option, e.g.
"-D A" "-D B"
However, that conflicts with options that legitimately have spaces. To
break this ambiguity, add a `SHELL:` prefix syntax to specify that an
option should be parsed like shell command line arguments after
deduplication, e.g.
"SHELL:-D A" "SHELL:-D B"
These will survive deduplication intact, and then be parsed to produce
`-D A -D B` on the final command line.
Fixes: #15826
