The purpose of this new `IMPORTED_GLOBAL` target-property is to prolong
the lifetime and scope of `IMPORTED` targets in such a way as if they
had been created with the keyword `GLOBAL` in the first place.
* It can only be set to `TRUE`. That means, a local `IMPORTED` target
can be promoted to global scope but a global `IMPORTED` target cannot
be degraded to local scope!
* Setting it to `TRUE` only succeeds if done from within the same
directory in which the `IMPORTED` target was created in the first
place.

The OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated, but only by
documentation. Add an explicit deprecation diagnostic for some policies
to encourage projects to port away from setting policies to OLD.
Update documentation to account for commit ae5f40696e (CMP0037: Allow
test and package targets when features are not enabled, 2017-10-26).

In commit v3.5.0-rc1~8^2~2 (Help: Clarify policy `CMP0040`
documentation, 2016-01-28) the documentation was clarified to indicate
that the target must be defined in the current directory. Do the same
for the text of the policy warning itself.

Now, several `INTERFACE_*` properties can be set on `IMPORTED` targets,
not only via `set_property` and `set_target_properties` but also via
`target_compile_definitions`, `target_compile_features`,
`target_compile_options`, `target_include_directories`, `target_sources`
and `target_link_libraries`.

Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>
Merge-request: !1242
The `add_library` and `add_executable` commands can now be called with
no source-files and won't generate a warning or error message, as long
as source-files will be added later via the `target_sources` command.
If during the generation step still no sources are associated with
targets created by such calls a useful error message will be generated
and generation fails.
Targets of type `INTERFACE_LIBRARY`, `UTILITY` or `GLOBAL_TARGET` are
excluded from this check because we do not need sources for these target
types during generation.
Fixes: #16872
Visual Studio 2017 supports multiple instances installed on a single
machine. We use the Visual Studio Installer tool to enumerate instances
and select one. Once we select an instance for a given build tree, save
the result in `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` so we can re-configure the tree
with the same instance on future re-runs of CMake.
Fixes: #17268
Add cache entry `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` to hold the instance location
persistently across re-runs of CMake in a given build tree.
For now we reject the option by default if explicitly set. It will be
implemented on a per-generator basis. Pass the setting into try_compile
project generation. Add a RunCMake.GeneratorInstance test to cover
basic use cases for the option. Verify that `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE`
is empty by default, and that it is rejected when the generator does not
support a user setting.

2de0e0fd Do not initialize NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED on INTERFACE libraries
Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>
Merge-request: !1386
The change in commit v3.8.0-rc1~276^2 (Allow NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED on
imported INTERFACE libraries, 2016-11-21) was incorrect. The property
is not meant to be set on imported targets at all. It is meant to be
set on their consumers that compile sources. Since INTERFACE libraries
have no sources to compile, the property is not needed on them.
Revert most of that change. Unfortunately we must still tolerate
project code setting NO_SYSTEM_FROM_IMPORTED on INTERFACE libraries
because they were allowed by CMake 3.8 and 3.9.
