Now, several `INTERFACE_*` properties can be set on `IMPORTED` targets,
not only via `set_property` and `set_target_properties` but also via
`target_compile_definitions`, `target_compile_features`,
`target_compile_options`, `target_include_directories`, `target_sources`
and `target_link_libraries`.

4e7f6738 Defer check for sources within a target until generation.
6e4e7c65 Tests: Exclude bad RunCMake.add_executable case on multi-arch Xcode
Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>

The `add_library` and `add_executable` commands can now be called with
no source-files and won't generate a warning or error message, as long
as source-files will be added later via the `target_sources` command.
If during the generation step still no sources are associated with
targets created by such calls a useful error message will be generated
and generation fails.
Targets of type `INTERFACE_LIBRARY`, `UTILITY` or `GLOBAL_TARGET` are
excluded from this check because we do not need sources for these target
types during generation.

Disable the feature added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new
PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and remove documentation
added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search
path group, 2017-05-03). Unfortunately the name `<pkg>_ROOT` may
already be set by projects for their own incompatible purposes. Disable
the behavior change for now to fix the regression for CMake 3.9. We can
restore it later with a policy.
In order to keep the implementation and tests working, add an
undocumented variable we can use in the tests to enable the behavior
before the policy is introduced.
Fixes: #17144
When using `file(WRITE)`, parent directories are also created. Documentation
has been updated to explain this behavior.

It has been sorted since commit v3.6.0-rc1~54^2 (file: Sort GLOB results
to make it deterministic, 2016-05-14). That commit left the order
unspecified in the documentation, but has been stable long enough to
document now.
Optional spaces and/or tabs are now understood between the '#' character
and the 'cmakedefine'/'cmakedefine01' words. This indentation is
preserved in the output lines.
Fixes: #13037
Previously `file(GENERATE)` did not define any behavior for relative
paths given to the `OUTPUT` or `INPUT` arguments. Define behavior
consistent with CMake conventions and add a policy to provide
compatibility for projects that relied on the old accidental behavior.

Allow CTest script writers to specify additional HTTP headers to be sent
to CDash during submission.
The motivating case for this feature is a corresponding change in CDash.
This will allow projects to refuse submissions from any site not bearing
a valid authentication token.

The `find_*` commands read search paths from both CMake variables
and from environment variables. Document how multiple values in
these variables should be separated.

Teach install() and export() to handle the actual object files.
Disallow this on Xcode with multiple architectures because it
still cannot be cleanly supported there.

It is quite often the project description has used in a real world software.
Examples include:
* part of a help screen of the application
* builtin resources (`*.rc` files, data for "About" dialog of a GUI app, & etc)
* most generators for CPack can use it
* it could be used by documentary software (Doxygen, Sphinx) which is usually
integrated to CMake based projects via `add_custom_target()`
Now `project()` call learned an optional `DESCRIPTION` parameter with a
short string describing a project. Being specified, it would set the
`PROJECT_DESCRIPTION` variable which could be used in `configure_file()`
or whatever user wants. Also `PROJECT_DESCRIPTION` is a default value
for `CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY`.
