These new capabilities enable to manage link directories
Two new properties:
* target properties: LINK_DIRECTORIES and INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES
One new command
* target_link_directories(): to populate target properties

Previously the command did not allow naming targets on the LHS that
were not created in the calling directory. Lift this restriction to
enable more flexible use by projects.
Targets named on the RHS will need to be looked up during generation in
the scope of the call site rather than the scope of the LHS target.
Introduce an internal syntax in `[INTERFACE_]LINK_LIBRARIES` properties
to specify target names that need to be looked up in a directory other
than that containing the target on which the property is set. Add
minimal documentation of the syntax to help users that encounter it.
Unfortunately CMake previously did allow such calls in the case that
only `INTERFACE` libraries are specified, but those libraries would be
looked up in the target's directory rather than the caller's. Add
policy `CMP0079` to enable the new behavior with new lookup scope in a
compatible way.

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.
Many existing tutorials suggest `include_directories` but that does
not handle propagation to dependencies and such. Add a link to its
documentation suggesting `target_include_directories` instead.
Add documentation for both the CMake variable and environment variable
of this name pattern. Update references to these names to link to their
documents. Clarify the pattern used to construct their names.

Revert commit v3.12.0-rc1~82^2 (target_link_libraries: Allow use with
targets in other directories, 2018-05-11). The RHS target scoping and
visibility rules are not clear and will need further investigation
before the feature can be added.
Issue: #17943
Previously the command considered non-absolute source file paths relative to
the associated target on the LHS. This causes problems in incremental builds
where files are added from subdirectories and forces users to workaround by
manually converting to absolute paths. Change this to enable more intuitive
usage by projects.
Fixes#17981
Previously, `install(TARGETS)` would only accept targets created in the same
directory scope. Relax this restriction by searching the global scope when
determining whether or not a target exists.

This change reworks ctest_start() so that simply calling
ctest_start(APPEND) will read all the information from the TAG file.
On top of that, it relaxes the argument parsing for ctest_start() to
allow greater flexibility in the argument ordering, and the documentation
for ctest_start() has been cleaned up.
Summarize the command signatures in one block at the top of the
documentation as is typical in Unix command-line tool manuals.
Make the mode keywords links to the corresponding full signature
and documentation.
