Also drop the release note for `CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES`, as the rest of
the C++ modules support has not yet been mentioned in release notes
(since it is still experimental).
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.

The `CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` property may be used to control scanning for
targets and for source files rather than assuming "C++20 always needs to
be scanned".

Previous the wording could be interpreted to mean that the environment
variables like `CXXFLAGS` are used exclusively to initialize the
corresponding cache entries like `CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS`. State clearly
that the value will be used in combination with builtin defaults.
Issue: #23956
Revise documentation added by commit 6b84df8da9 (Help: Document cross
compiling for Android, 2016-06-20, v3.7.0-rc1~229^2~2) to avoid implying
that `CMAKE_ANDROID_API` is interchangeable with `CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION`.
The latter is the authoritative value of the Android API level.
Issue: #23830
Define the entry point to each mode as an option for the `cmake`
program, but reference the options for that mode as part of stand-in
`cmake-<mode>` programs.

Replace our hard-coded default for `/Zi` with a first-class abstraction
to select the debug information format an enumeration of logical
names. We've long hesitated to do this because the idea of "debug
information format" touches on related concepts on several platforms.
Avoid that scope creep by simply defining an abstraction that applies
only when targeting the MSVC ABI on Windows.
Removing the old default flag requires a policy because existing
projects may rely on string processing to edit them and choose a
runtime library under the old behavior. Add policy CMP0141 to
provide compatibility.
