Document and add explicit tests for empty string input:
`if(EXISTS "")` and `if(IS_DIRECTORY "")` are always false.
This avoids need for users to do extra checks due to
CMake non-short-circuit logic as below:
if("${p}")
if(EXISTS "${p}")

Help: Drop misleading add_custom_command "makefile terms" explanation
...
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.

first class abstraction for that.

Evaluate and expand generator expressions in the `COMMENT` argument of
the `add_custom_command()` and `add_custom_target()` commands.
This allows to include generator expressions, e.g. a targets location
$<TARGET_...> or the current configuration $<CONFIG>, in the build-time
messages.

On Windows, a file may be inaccessible for a short time after it is
created. This occurs for various reasons, including indexing, antivirus
tools, and NTFS's asynchronous semantics. Add an `INPUT_MAY_BE_RECENT`
option to tell CMake that the input file may have been recently created
so that we can retry a few times to read it.
