Create a single place to store target data to prevent duplication.
This moves `targetType` and `targetLabels` out of the snippet files
and into a target map in the `cmakeContent` file referenced by each
snippet.
Fixes: #27244
Avoid repeating almost identical information for every module.
Document the pattern of the change and refer the reader to individual
modules for details.
Replace the explicit list of common `INTERFACE_*` property names
with links to the dedicated sections listing usage requirements.
Restore documentation of the pre-3.19 restrictions on property names,
previously removed by commit afb998704e (Remove filtering of allowed
INTERFACE library properties, 2020-07-14, v3.19.0-rc1~346^2~2).

Visual Studio defines this automatically for `.dll` targets.
For consistency, define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI
with other generators. Add policy CMP0203 for compatibility.

2fdd1e787f instrumentation: Additional data in custom, install and link snippets
3db07b0189 cmInstallScriptHandler: Refactor to store config and path for each command
Acked-by: Kitware Robot <kwrobot@kitware.com>
Tested-by: buildbot <buildbot@kitware.com>
Merge-request: !11241
- Include `config` in all `install` and `custom` snippets
- Include `target` for `custom` snippets where applicable
- Document and test inclusion of `language` in `link` snippets
Issue: #27244
Changes:
- Added new `RESULT_VARIABLE` keyword to enable customizing the name of
the internal cache variable, which contains the boolean result of the
check.
- The macro check_type_size() changed to function for easier arguments
handling.
- Documentation synced and extended to better understand the
check_type_size() command. Some typos fixed in the initial example.
- CheckTypeSize tests adjusted so also C++ is tested.
- Error messages slightly adjusted when checking the LANGUAGE argument.
Closes: #27202
This marks all `<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND` result variables as deprecated
where possible (for `<PackageName>` find modules) to make it clearer
which variable to use.
In CMake 3.3, the FindPackageHandleStandardArgs module was refactored to
set both `<PackageName>_FOUND` and uppercase `<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND`
result variables to the same values. Before that, the FOUND_VAR argument
could be used to set the result variable.
* FindMatlab: Uppercased MATLAB_FOUND is not mentioned as it was never
documented.
* Documentation for FindPythonInterp and FindPythonLibs modules synced
accordingly to their deprecation (3.12 instead of 4.2).
* OPENGL_FOUND: deprecation version synced with other find modules.
* DevIL_FOUND was introduced in CMake 3.8. The uppercased variant not
mentioned as it was previously never documented.

Policy CMP0189, introduced by commit b3da9c6d60 (GenEx: Evaluate
LINK_LIBRARIES target properties transitively, 2025-02-24,
v4.1.0-rc1~731^2), takes effect at generation time, and so uses the
policy value as of the end of each directory. However, some projects
may rely on `file(GENERATE)` with the policy's OLD behavior in order
to extract targets' *direct* dependencies from `LINK_LIBRARIES`.
Pending a first-class solution to that problem, make it easier for
projects to port to the policy's NEW behavior in general while
retaining the OLD behavior in an isolated context.
Fixes: #27220

updated the location of index files.
