Since commit da7ad7997e (WriteCompilerDetectionHeader: Add policy to
remove module, 2020-12-04, v3.20.0-rc1~350^2), the WCDH module is
deprecated. Update the `cmake-compile-features(7)` manual section that
previously recommended WCDH to make such detection the project's
responsibility instead. Move the old content of the section over to the
WCDH module to preserve it.
The placement of the word "optionally" implied that the fields mentioned
before are not optional, which is not the case starting from version 3
of the presets.
Make it even clearer that for the signature `<version>...<version>` that
the second value is only used for policies, and is not a clamp range
of supported CMake versions.
A common anti-pattern is to copy from the `CUDA_ARCHITECTURES` documentation.
If at any point the user tries to simplify by changin `set_property` to `set_target_properties` the code breaks.
To better train users, provide and example of how to set multiple
CUDA architectures with `set_target_properties`.

The meaning of "absolute path" was previously assumed knowledge,
but a number of special cases were left unspecified. The way some of
these are handled differs to the way that cmake_path(IS_ABSOLUTE)
works, so document those special cases so that the differing behavior
between these two commands is clearly defined.
This facility is very useful for 'Ninja Multi-Config' and required
as well for future support of DEPFILE in 'Xcode' and 'Visual Studio'
generators (#20286).

In v3 of the presets, generator and buildDir can be omitted to fall
back to regular cmake behavior when these values are not explicitly
provided by the user.
Fixes: #21987
Since CMake 3.19, we no longer support macOS SDKs older than 10.5,
which corresponds to Xcode 3. Supporting older Xcode versions for
device platforms is also not realistic. We therefore expect the -rpath
linker option should always be supported now.
When targeting iOS, tvOS or watchOS, the previous disabling of -rpath
support meant that the install_name_dir of shared libraries and
frameworks was unable to use @rpath. This resulted in embedding
absolute paths for their install_name. When they were embedded in an
app bundle, this would cause the app to fail at runtime. By enabling the
-rpath linker option, the default install_name_dir is now @rpath for these platforms, which results in binaries that do work at runtime.
Fixes: #20036
