597e421ba3 Help: Remove incorrect Windows env var limitation from CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL
In commit 5de1e21659 (ctest: Allow passing -j without value to choose a
contextual default, 2024-03-06, v3.29.0-rc4~10^2) I misdiagnosed the
reason that the test could not set an empty environment variable on
Windows.  It is actually a limitation of `set(ENV{VAR})` inherited from
its implementation using `_wputenv`.  Process environment blocks can
contain empty environment variables.

6874efb592 MSVC: Always define a character set
When targeting the MSVC ABI, define `_MBCS` by default if the project
does not define `_SBCS` or `_UNICODE`.  Visual Studio has long defined
one of the three character set macros automatically.  For consistency,
define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI with other generators.
Add policy CMP0204 for compatibility.

d92b6c3e20 CPS: Add Symbolic Components
Adds support for "symbolic" components, which represent feature-level
capabilities of a package that do not correspond to actual build targets.
These are modeled as pseudo-targets, using the INTERFACE type as a base,
and can be queried via:

  get_target_property(... <tgt> "SYMBOLIC")

This enables consumers to declare requirements on optional features
(e.g., SSL support) even when they do not map to concrete targets.
