The language-specific variable references the general one already,
but the general one did not mention the language-specific one.
Add that cross reference to improve discoverability.
CMake only sets `CMAKE_CACHEFILE_DIR` when writing `CMakeCache.txt`,
so the variable will usually be undefined when `CMakeLists.txt` runs.
Revise its documentation to clarify that `CMAKE_BINARY_DIR` should
be used instead.
Variable CMAKE_LINK_(LIBRARY|GROUP)_USING_<FEATURE>_SUPPORTED is evaluated
only if CMAKE_<LANG>_LINK_(LIBRARY|GROUP)_USING_<FEATURE>_SUPPORTED is not defined.
This new behavior enable to activate a feature globally on a platform and to disable
it for some compilers and languages.
Not all the behaviors of CMake variables for ignoring search
locations by find_...() commands were fully documented.
Add the missing effects, clarify the wording and restructure the
way the details are assembled to reduce duplication.
Also improve the cross-referencing to ensure all the related
variables are more discoverable.
Issue: #20878
Allow find package to promote scope of imported targets by specifying
an argument to `find_package` or by specifying a CMake variable.
* Add support for CMAKE_GLOBAL_IMPORT_SCOPE variable
* Add support for GLOBAL argument to find_package
Additionally add testing for above features.
Add `--test-output-truncation` to `ctest`. This option can be used to
customize which part of the test output is being truncated. Currently
supported values are `tail`, `middle` and `head`.
Also add equivalent `CTEST_CUSTOM_TEST_OUTPUT_TRUNCATION` variable.

The list capability was added in CMake 3.15 by commit fec441ec17 (Teach
CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to support arguments, 2019-05-30,
v3.15.0-rc1~6^2), but the documentation did not indicate the version
that added it.
To be more consistent between genex and variables as well as
the forecomming LINK_GROUP genex, rename variable *_LINK_USING_<FEATURE>*
in *_LINK_LIBRARY_USING_<FEATURE>*

version specification in CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE, 2021-10-26,
v3.23.0-rc1~452^2~1).

Fixes: #23227
To enable the management of incompatible $<LINK_LIBRARY> declarations,
add LINK_LIBRARY_OVERRIDE and LINK_LIBRARY_OVERRIDE_<LIBRARY> target
properties.
This generator expression offers the capability, for the link step, to
decorate libraries with prefix/suffix flags and/or adding any specific flag for each
library.
