MSYS2 and similar MinGW/MSYS distributions define development
environments with a `MSYSTEM` environment variable. Each such
environment has a documented installation prefix for its packages,
often provided by a `MSYSTEM_PREFIX` environment variable.
Since commit 84a25fc263 (cmake_host_system_information: Add
MSYSTEM_PREFIX query, 2023-09-08) we can look up this prefix.
Add `$MSYSTEM_PREFIX/local` and `$MSYSTEM_PREFIX` to our system search
prefixes when targeting MinGW under `MSYSTEM` environments. This is
their equivalent to `/usr/local` and `/usr`, which we search by default
on UNIX systems.
Issue: #24216
With Xcode 14 support for the Legacy Build System has been removed
and the BuildSystemType in the WorkspaceSettings is ignored.
If CMake still generates projects targeted to the Lecacy Build
System the build preparation phase will likely fail because Xcode
for example misses any declared outputs from script invocations.
This is a hard to debug problem and CMake should reject the invalid
configuration instead.
Read `CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` from an environment variable of the
same name if not specified with `-D` or an initial cache value.
Along with existing environment variable settings such as
`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE`, cross compilation configuration can be more
completely set via environment variables.

A misconfigured compiler may pass extraneous implicit link directories
to its linker. If they are in `CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES`,
CMake may generate extra `-L` flags on mixed-language link lines that
break linking. Add an environment variable that users can set to work
around such misconfiguration of their compilers.

`AUTOGEN_USE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE` was added. `AUTOGEN_USE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE`
is a boolean property that can be set on a target to indicate that the
autogen target include directory should be added as a system include
directory or normal include directory to the target.

This patch adds basic documentation for the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH,
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH, CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH, CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH and
CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH environment variables and links to the
respective cmake variables and vice versa.
In an environment established by `vcvarsall.bat` or similar, this
environment variable may be set to select a Windows SDK version.
If the VS generator is used in such an environment, use that SDK.
This is similar to how `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` defaults using
a `VS##0COMNTOOLS` environment variable.

State explicitly that these flags are used when driving either compiling
or linking. For linking, document their order w.r.t. link flags
specified by commands.

Add the `CMAKE_AUTOMOC_EXECUTABLE`, `CMAKE_AUTOUIC_EXECUTABLE`, and
`CMAKE_AUTORCC_EXECUTABLE` variables to initialize the corresponding
`AUTO{MOC,UIC,RCC}_EXECUTABLE` target properties.
Fixes: #20071
Provide a way to initialize the `VS_WINDOWS_TARGET_PLATFORM_MIN_VERSION`
target property on targets. It sets `WindowsTargetPlatformMinVersion`
in `.vcxproj` files.
Extend the recursion limit controls added by commit a6982cff0d
(cmMakefile: Impose maximum recursion limit, 2018-12-14,
v3.14.0-rc1~82^2) with an environment variable that is used if the
CMake variable of the same name is not set.
Extend commit eb35d8884b (find_package: Use PackageName_ROOT variables
as search prefixes, 2018-03-15, v3.12.0-rc1~349^2) to also check
upper-case `<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT` variables. Add policy `CMP0144` to
enable the behavior in a compatible way.
