* Change some functions to take `std::string` instead of
`const char*` in the following classes: `cmMakeFile`, `cmake`,
`cmCoreTryCompile`, `cmSystemTools`, `cmState`, `cmLocalGenerator`
and a few others.
* Greatly reduce using of `const char*` overloads for
`cmSystemTools::MakeDirectory` and `cmSystemTools::RelativePath`.
* Remove many redundant `c_str()` conversions throughout the code.
The ambiguous extension logic is an old behavior that ends up taking
lots of extra compute cycles to execute. This is triggered by various
CMake codepaths which pass extension-less paths down when CMake actually
knows that they are not ambiguous. These codepaths will be indicated in
upcoming changes.
Various APIs have gained a cmSourceFileLocationKind parameter, but they
are all optional and default to the existing behavior.
Some generators auto-generate targets. For example VS generators create
the ALL_BUILD target. Add the ability to mark targets as generator
provided and return that info through cmake-server codemodel.
This reintroduces the change from commit v3.10.0-rc1~69^2 (Performance:
Improve efficiency of source file lookup in cmMakefile, 2017-08-17) with
some corrections. The original was rolled back by commit
v3.10.0-rc1~52^2~1 (Revert "Performance: ...", 2017-09-25) due to
incompatibilities found. The rollback was followed-up by addition of a
test for the offending case, and this revision passes the test.
Some are user facing.

The new PackageRoot search path group allows the PackageName_ROOT cmake
and environment variables to be used as search prefixes for all find_*
commands called from within a find module
Detect x32-abi through CMakeCompilerABI infrastruture and use this
information at runtime to determine the correct library paths with
`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS`.
Fixes: #15994
Port dependents to the new locations as needed.
Leave behind a cmState.h include in cmListFileCache to reduce noise. It
is removed in a following commit.

cmMakefile should not have logic particular to individual cmake
commands. The link_libraries() command is generally obsolete in favor
of target_link_libraries(). An alternative language for CMake probably
would not offer the former. The quirks and historical behaviors of the
current language should be separate from the core classes of CMake to
allow replacing the language.
