The documentation for CPack generators previously lived in their
respective internal CMake modules. This setup was misleading,
because it implied that you should include the modules in your own
code, which is not the case. Moving the documentation into a
separate section does a better job of hiding the internal modules,
which are just an implementation detail. The generator documentation
has also been modified to remove any references to the module name.
The CPackIFW module is a special exception: since it has user-facing
macros, the documentation for these macros has been kept in the module
page, while all other documentation related to the IFW generator has
been moved into the new section.
To make it easier to find the new documentation, the old help pages
for the CPack*.cmake modules have not been deleted, but have been
replaced with a link to their respective help page in the new
documentation section.
These modules are being moved out of user visibility and into an
internal section of CMake. To keep them for historical reference in
the manual, this commit moves them into a separate "Legacy CPack
Modules" section.
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.

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 family enable to manage link flags
Three new properties:
* directory property: LINK_OPTIONS
* target properties: LINK_OPTIONS and INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS
Two new commands
* add_link_options(): to populate directory property
* target_link_options(): to populate target properties
Fixes: #16543
Update `.clang-format` with configuration to make the 6.0 format as
close as possible to what 3.8 produced before. Then revise the style:
* Indent preprocessor directives (a feature new since 3.8)
* Add a newline and indentation before inheritance `:` and `,`
Rename the Git attribute identifying the format to include the
clang-format version number: `format.clang-format-6.0`. This will aid
external infrastructure in knowing what version of the tool to run.
The use of `uv_fs_realpath` introduced by commit v3.11.0-rc1~445^2~1
(cmSystemTools: Implement GetRealPath on Windows, 2017-10-02) causes
`subst` drives to be expanded on Windows, breaking existing use cases.
Revert its use until an alternative implementation can be chosen.
Preserve the behavior introduced by commit v3.11.0-rc1~445^2
(cmTimestamp: For symlinks switch to timestamp of resolved path,
2017-10-02) by retaining use of `uv_fs_realpath` in a function of
a different name.

Add new `version=` parameter in the toolset setting to select the
version. Add variable `CMAKE_VS_PLATFORM_TOOLSET_VERSION` to hold the
version, if one is set (blank indicates default).
Fixes: #17549
While we already support `cmake --build . -- -j`, the options after `--`
are specific to the native build tool. Add new options `--parallel
[<N>]` and `-j [<N>]` to abstract this and map to the proper option
for the native build tool.
