Teach the `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:...>` generator expression to check for a
new `TRANSITIVE_LINK_PROPERTIES` property in the target's link
closure to enable transitive evaluation of named properties through
the link closure, including entries guarded by `$<LINK_ONLY:...>`.

Teach the `$<TARGET_PROPERTY:...>` generator expression to check for a

Regularize and fill out a documentation pattern from commit ddb9442f48
(GenEx: Fix TARGET_PROPERTY evaluation of transitive link properties,
2024-04-22).
In commit 835f34949e (Help: Update cmake-buildsystem(7) build and usage
requirements, 2024-04-23) we labeled the sections documenting `COMPILE_*`
properties as "build properties". All the properties it documents are
about compilation steps before linking, including the Autogen features
for compiling Qt metadata, so rename the sections as "compile properties".
This is also consistent with the name of the `$<COMPILE_ONLY:...>`
generator expression.
Upstream Boost 1.70 and above provide a proper `BoostConfig.cmake`
package configuration file. Packages for all major distros now
provide it in at least one LTS release. Add a policy to pretend
that the `FindBoost` module does not exist so that projects calling
`find_package(Boost)` use the upstream package directly.
Closes: #19402
Add a variable to indicate the latest standard known to be supported for
each language:
* `CMAKE_C_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_CUDA_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_HIP_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_OBJC_STANDARD_LATEST`
* `CMAKE_OBJCXX_STANDARD_LATEST`
These variables, more generally referred to as
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST`, are assigned an integer value which
represents the minimum between the latest version of the associated
language standard supported by the current compiler and the latest
version supported by CMake.
Add documentation for these variables in a new page called
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST` was added under the "Variables for
Languages" section of the `cmake-variables(7)` page.
Update each compiler-specific CMake script under
`${CMAKE_ROOT}\Modules\Compiler` to manually define the relevant
`CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_LATEST` variable as necessary. This will
require updating and maintaining as newer compiler versions become
recognized by CMake.

In commit bbba701899 (Link properties: must be transitive over private
dependency on static library, 2019-12-06, v3.17.0-rc1~323^2) and
commit af9d4f24ae (Link properties: must be transitive over private
dependency on static library, 2019-12-11, v3.17.0-rc1~305^2) we
neglected to implement CMP0099 NEW behavior for `TARGET_PROPERTY`
evaluation. Add policy CMP0166 to fix this.
This updates the CMP0135 documentation, which should have been
done as part of c2044fdf3f (FetchContent: Respect the CMP0135 policy
setting, 2022-06-02).
Issue: #23560
One local cross-reference added by commit 835f34949e (Help: Update
cmake-buildsystem(7) build and usage requirements, 2024-04-23) had
incorrect syntax.
Re-organize the section to explicitly describe target-specific
commands, build properties, and usage requirement properties.
Add builtin transitive properties that have been created since
the document was first written.
This was originally attempted by policy CMP0118, but its
implementation did not cover all intended use cases. We fixed its
documentation in commit 1dabbbb5e0 (CMP0118: Revise documentation to
describe actual behavior, 2024-03-20).
Add new policy CMP0163 to cover the remaining use cases. In particular,
make the `GENERATED` property visible to `get_property` calls in other
directories. In order to capture the original intention of CMP0118,
define CMP0163's NEW behavior to also imply CMP0118's NEW behavior.
Fixes: #25437Fixes: #25058
The policy was originally intended to make the `GENERATED` source file
property globally visible, but the implementation didn't fully achieve
that goal. Revise the documentation to describe what it actually does.
