The module was added in CMake 3.18 by commit af96c0f4fa
(CheckLinkerFlag: Add module to check validity of linker flags,
2020-05-16, v3.18.0-rc1~103^2), but it is still possible for projects to
use it without setting policies to the 3.18 version level.
Generator expressions in a non-cross custom command's `COMMAND`
arguments are evaluated in the command config. Target-level
dependencies implied by `TARGET_FILE` must therefore be cross
dependencies. This is important to generate proper target-level
dependencies on the cross-config build statements for the target to
which the custom command is attached.
Fixes: #22855
In commit 7abc3d61ac (Ninja Multi-Config: Fix issue with framework
dependencies and Autogen, 2020-02-13, v3.17.0-rc2~18^2) the `cmLinkItem`
comparison operator was updated to order identical strings by the
cross-config boolean. We need to order identical targets that way too
in order to represent both a cross and non-cross dependency on the same
target.

This generator expression does not report the locations of `.dll`
files on imported targets with the `UNKNWON` type, since their
`IMPORTED_LOCATION` refers to the import library and not the DLL.

Extend the logic from commit 08c5b3eff0 (GNUtoMS: Add search path for VS
2019 environment scripts, 2020-01-09, v3.16.3~15^2) to consider VS 2022
paths too.
Fixes: #22847
Explain that this represents the compiler's default and mustn't be modified
by the user. Clarify when it's used as the default.
Additionally:
* Add a reference to it in cmake-compile-features in text explaining the
feature.
* Add explanations for the default initialization by
`CMAKE_<LANG>_EXTENSIONS_DEFAULT` to all `<LANG>_EXTENSIONS` pages and
references to CMP0128.
* Slightly reduce the wordiness of the default initialization explanations by
removing an unnecessary "it is".
Fixes#22828.

In commit 0723b2c935 (MPI: Add fallback detection code for MPI when cross
compiling, 2021-09-17, v3.22.0-rc1~89^2) the FindPkgConfig module was
included directly. This produces warnings like:
The package name passed to `find_package_handle_standard_args` (PkgConfig)
does not match the name of the calling package (MPI).
Use `find_package(PkgConfig)` instead, as other find modules do.
Fixes: #22823
This only works due to some assumptions about how the `ENVIRONMENT`
property is processed. Comments have been added to notify anyone
modifying the behavior about where to look.

Support for `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` was added in CMake 3.11, but the
possibility was mentioned in a comment in older versions, so the wrong
versionadded value was used in commit c43e845d09 (Help: Add `..
versionadded` directives to generator docs, 2020-11-11,
v3.20.0-rc1~476^2).

MSVC `cl` versions prior to 19.27 had no `-std:c*` flags for C
standards. List the `c_std_{17,23}` features anyway. This allows
projects to at least attempt compilation with these compilers since they
do not have any modes.
The custom "no modes" `cmake_record_c_compile_features` implementation
should only be used in `cl` versions prior to 19.27 because they had no
`-std:c*` flags for C standards. For 19.27 we need a different custom
implementation to account for partial C11 support. For 19.28 and above
we can use the default implementation through the `*__HAS_FULL_SUPPORT`
settings.
We already use this pattern in the MSVC C++ compile feature table.
