578d95f87d find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT search path group for CMake 3.9
Disable the feature added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new
PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and remove documentation
added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search
path group, 2017-05-03).  Unfortunately the name `<pkg>_ROOT` may
already be set by projects for their own incompatible purposes.  Disable
the behavior change for now to fix the regression for CMake 3.9.  We can
restore it later with a policy.

In order to keep the implementation and tests working, add an
undocumented variable we can use in the tests to enable the behavior
before the policy is introduced.

Fixes: #17144

3022545f14 Help: Document find command search path separators
The `find_*` commands read search paths from both CMake variables
and from environment variables.  Document how multiple values in
these variables should be separated.

7ab0806fef Help: Document find_* command versioned/unversioned name ordering
Suggest in the NAMES option that unversioned names go first to prefer
local builds over distro-provided files.

8c64c4783d Help: Document CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE and CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK
Add dedicated documents for these and link to them instead of
duplicating their documentation in every find command.

ffc06c1239 Teach find_(library|file|path) to get prefixes from PATH (#15370)
The find_package command already knows how to compute installation
prefixes from PATH.  Use the same approach to establish prefixes for
find_library, find_file, and find_path to use to look in directories
like "<prefix>/lib[/<arch>]" and "<prefix>/include" for libraries and
headers.  This will reduce the amount of configuration end users need to
do to establish a work environment rooted under a specific prefix.

898216137a Help: Factor out find_* command duplication
These documents were represented in the builtin documentation using a
common starting point with placeholders substituted by each command.
Convert them back to this approach using the reStructuredText include
directive and substitutions to avoid duplication.
