Previously, MAKE_DIRECTORY would print `problem creating directory: {}`,
which was very unhelpful for debugging. Extend the message with the
OS error string.
The "In makefile terms" explanation is left from very early days of
CMake to help developers migrating from hand-written makefiles.
These days it is often misinterpreted, particularly in the context
of multiple `add_custom_command` calls, to mean that we generate a
single Makefile containing rules for all custom commands. This
leads to an incorrect mental model of the expressed build system.
The actual generated build system may spread the rules across multiple
targets that do not see the each other's file-level rules, which makes
target-level dependencies important too.
On AIX, including `<curses.h>` includes `<term.h>` which defines
a bunch of non-prefixed, lower-case macro names. Undefine one
that conflicts with our source code.
Fixes: #24229
VS 2017 and above come with a Visual Studio Installer tool that tracks
four-component Visual Studio version numbers. We already detect the VS
version number because it is needed to make some generation decisions.
Provide the number to projects in a `CMAKE_VS_VERSION_BUILD_NUMBER`
variable so they can use it similarly.
Fixes: #24230
Some package managers provide a minimal set of static libraries,
which historically has caused problems for FindCUDAToolkit.
Resolve this issue by creating a CUDA image with only the minimal
set of static libraries.

All our CI hosts now have Linux kernel version 3.17 or higher,
so we no longer need a dedicated tag.
This backports commit c212c7dc8b (gitlab-ci: drop unnecessary linux
kernel version tag, 2022-11-30) to the 3.25 release branch.
The latter tags are now available on our CI runners to more explicitly
distinguish `linux-x86_64` from `linux-aarch64` and to distinguish
`{macos,windows}-x86_64` from `{macos,windows}-arm64`.
This backports commit 33fe37a660 (gitlab-ci: replace '{macos,windows}'
tags with '{macos,windows}-x86_64', 2022-11-30) and commit 94d82d91d5
(gitlab-ci: replace 'linux' tags with 'linux-x86_64', 2022-11-30) to
the 3.25 release branch.
