Policy CMP0189, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx: Evaluate
LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), takes effect at generation time, and so uses the
policy value as of the end of each directory. However, some projects
may rely on `file(GENERATE)` with the policy's OLD behavior in order
to extract targets' *direct* dependencies from `LINK_LIBRARIES`.
Pending a first-class solution to that problem, make it easier for
projects to port to the policy's NEW behavior in general while
retaining the OLD behavior in an isolated context.
Fixes: #27220
Revert commit b70ef48b27 (install(DIRECTORY): Add
EXCLUDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES option, 2025-04-20, v4.1.0-rc1~212^2).
The implementation had at least two problems:
* It did not exclude the top-level directory if empty.
* It did not exclude non-empty directories whose contents are
all filtered out.
Revert the feature pending a revised implementation.

When installing FILE_SETs, it is possible the FILE_SET has not yet been
created with target_sources(FILE_SET). Instead of ignoring this
situation, we need to track the installed FILE_SET names and their
possible install destinations.
At generation time we resolve the names and destinations concretely. If
a FILE_SET wasn't provided or isn't an INTERFACE, we silently bail out.
Fixes: #26697
External tools may create a `.xcworkspace` directory next to the
`.xcodeproj` directory that CMake generates. If a workspace exists,
drive the build through it instead.
Closes: #26958

Enable the generation of NuGet symbol package(s) with the new variable
`CPACK_NUGET_SYMBOL_PACKAGE`. CPack generates then normal nuget package
(*.nupkg) and a symbol nuget package (*.snupkg). The new generate
package contains PDB files.
Fixes: #26976
The `CMAKE_{EXE,SHARED,MODULE,STATIC}_LINKER_FLAGS` variables are
not language-specific, so multiple languages' toolchains may disagree
about if/how to pass the flag through a compiler driver to the linker.
Furthermore, carrying the flag in public-facing variables allows projects
or users to change it even though it is required. Add policy CMP0197
to remove the flag from the public-facing variables and generate it
automatically instead:
* For command-line generators, add the `-machine:` flag to the
linker and archiver rule variables.
* For Visual Studio generators, we do not need to explicitly add the
link `-machine:` flag. MSBuild automatically adds it, and the new
behavior actually removes a duplicate we generated previously.

- Reworded and updated descriptions.
- Renamed "Cache Variables" to "Hints".
- Added info about config mode.
- Added separate section "Deprecated Items".
- Mention of Threads::Threads imported target removed.
- Added intro code blocks showing how to include these modules.
- Used "command" instead of "macro".
- Mentioned policy CMP0075.
- Added additional example to CheckIncludeFile showing how to use
CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variable.
Changes:
- Added intro code blocks showing how to include these modules.
- Added examples sections.
- Used "command" instead of "macro".
- Commands sections added to have a clearer overview of the modules at
first encounter.
- Reworded commands arguments a bit.
- Added a rubric title for variables that affect the checks.
- CheckFortranSourceCompiles: Added CMake version when SRC_EXT option
was introduced.
- Listed CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE variable in the rubric together
with CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variables and added an include RST file for it.
