Removing FindQt.cmake gives Qt upstream a path forward to export its
own QtConfig.cmake files which can be found by find_package()
without having to explicitly specify CONFIG. Projects that still
want to use Qt3/4 can call find_package(Qt[34]), include(FindQt),
or add FindQt.cmake to their CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.
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
Fixes: #17215
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.
Fixes: #17943
This family enable to manage link flags
Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #16543
Run the `clang-format.bash` script to update all our C and C++ code to a
new style defined by `.clang-format`. Use `clang-format` version 6.0.

While we already support `cmake --build . -- -j`, the options after `--`
are specific to the native build tool. Add new options `--parallel
[<N>]` and `-j [<N>]` to abstract this and map to the proper option
for the native build tool.
The two-argument forms of `AddDefineFlag` and `RemoveDefineFlag`
need no access to `cmMakefile` class members. They are used only
within the implementation file.
Policies affecting the behavior of CMake-provided macros and functions
need to be able to get the policy setting as of the call site rather
than the definition site. Add an undocumented option to do this.

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.
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
Store "Known" files separately in KnownFileSearchIndex. This avoids
creating the rather expensive cmSourceFileLocation object for source
files that are already known. For large projects this results in a
factor 3-4 speedup of cmGlobalGenerator::Compute().
* Change some functions to take `std::string` instead of
`const char*` in the following classes: `cmMakeFile`, `cmake`,
`cmCoreTryCompile`, `cmSystemTools`, `cmState`, `cmLocalGenerator`
and a few others.
* Greatly reduce using of `const char*` overloads for
`cmSystemTools::MakeDirectory` and `cmSystemTools::RelativePath`.
* Remove many redundant `c_str()` conversions throughout the code.
The ambiguous extension logic is an old behavior that ends up taking
lots of extra compute cycles to execute. This is triggered by various
CMake codepaths which pass extension-less paths down when CMake actually
knows that they are not ambiguous. These codepaths will be indicated in
upcoming changes.
Various APIs have gained a cmSourceFileLocationKind parameter, but they
are all optional and default to the existing behavior.
Some generators auto-generate targets. For example VS generators create
the ALL_BUILD target. Add the ability to mark targets as generator
provided and return that info through cmake-server codemodel.
This reintroduces the change from commit v3.10.0-rc1~69^2 (Performance:
Improve efficiency of source file lookup in cmMakefile, 2017-08-17) with
some corrections. The original was rolled back by commit
v3.10.0-rc1~52^2~1 (Revert "Performance: ...", 2017-09-25) due to
incompatibilities found. The rollback was followed-up by addition of a
test for the offending case, and this revision passes the test.
Some are user facing.
