c705279bae Help: Add .. versionadded directives to commands documentation
This change ony concerns directives that appear in the document body.

The guidelines for inserting version directives:

 * Baseline version is CMake 3.0, i.e. directives start at 3.1.
 * Always use `.. versionadded::` directive, avoid ad-hoc version
   references. Exception: policy pages.
 * For new command signatures, put `versionadded` on a separate line
   after the signature.
 * For a group of new signatures in a new document section,
   a single version note at the beginning of the section is sufficient.
 * For new options, put `versionadded` on a separate line before
   option description.
 * If all the option descriptions in the list are short one-liners,
   it's fine to put `versionadded` on the same line as the description.
 * If multiple option descriptions in close proximity would have
   the same ..versionadded directive, consider adding a single
   directive after the list, mentioning all added options.
 * For compact value lists and sub-option lists, put a single
  `versionadded` directive after the list mentioning all additions.
 * When a change is described in a single paragraph, put
   `versionadded` into that paragraph.
 * When only part of the paragraph has changed, separate the changed
   part if it doesn't break the flow. Otherwise, write a follow-up
   clarification paragraph and apply version directive to that.
 * When multiple version directives are close by, order earlier
   additions before later additions.
 * Indent related lists and code blocks to include them in the scope
   of `versionadded` directive.

Issue: #19715

c2efb3efcd Help: Revise docs on Scripting Commands
Revise docs for all "Scripting Commands", except four find_XXX
that use a macro suite of their own.

* Take full advantage of the improved syntax highlighting.
* Make consequential use of <..> placeholders.
* Clarify things here and there in the text.

Specific improvements to some command docs:

* "math": Correct description of novel hexadecimal capability.
* "if", "foreach", "while": Provide link to "endif" etc
* "foreach", "while": Mention "break" and "continue".
* "foreach": Simplify explanation of ``RANGE`` and ``IN`` signatures;
   advise against negative arguments or reverse ranges (compare issue #18461)
* "endif", "endfunction" etc: Explain that the argument is optional and
   maintained for compatibility only

228a2b0d82 Help: Clarify cmake_host_system_information memory units
The memory size query implementations report in units of one mebibyte
(2^20).  Clarify the unit in the documentation because "megabyte" might
also be interpreted as 10^6.

Run the convert-help.bash script to convert documentation:

 ./convert-help.bash "/path/to/CMake-build/bin"

Then remove it.
