Nikita Nemkin c705279bae Help: Add .. versionadded directives to commands documentation
This change ony concerns directives that appear in the document body.

The guidelines for inserting version directives:

 * Baseline version is CMake 3.0, i.e. directives start at 3.1.
 * Always use `.. versionadded::` directive, avoid ad-hoc version
   references. Exception: policy pages.
 * For new command signatures, put `versionadded` on a separate line
   after the signature.
 * For a group of new signatures in a new document section,
   a single version note at the beginning of the section is sufficient.
 * For new options, put `versionadded` on a separate line before
   option description.
 * If all the option descriptions in the list are short one-liners,
   it's fine to put `versionadded` on the same line as the description.
 * If multiple option descriptions in close proximity would have
   the same ..versionadded directive, consider adding a single
   directive after the list, mentioning all added options.
 * For compact value lists and sub-option lists, put a single
  `versionadded` directive after the list mentioning all additions.
 * When a change is described in a single paragraph, put
   `versionadded` into that paragraph.
 * When only part of the paragraph has changed, separate the changed
   part if it doesn't break the flow. Otherwise, write a follow-up
   clarification paragraph and apply version directive to that.
 * When multiple version directives are close by, order earlier
   additions before later additions.
 * Indent related lists and code blocks to include them in the scope
   of `versionadded` directive.

target_include_directories
--------------------------
Add include directories to a target.
.. code-block:: cmake
target_include_directories(<target> [SYSTEM] [BEFORE]
<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
[<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])
Specifies include directories to use when compiling a given target.
The named ``<target>`` must have been created by a command such
as :command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library` and must not be an
:ref:`ALIAS target <Alias Targets>`.
If ``BEFORE`` is specified, the content will be prepended to the property
instead of being appended.
The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to specify
the scope of the following arguments. ``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC`` items will
populate the :prop_tgt:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` property of ``<target>``.
``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` property of ``<target>``.
The following arguments specify include directories.
.. versionadded:: 3.11
Allow setting ``INTERFACE`` items on :ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>`.
Specified include directories may be absolute paths or relative paths.
Repeated calls for the same <target> append items in the order called. If
``SYSTEM`` is specified, the compiler will be told the
directories are meant as system include directories on some platforms
(signalling this setting might achieve effects such as the compiler
skipping warnings, or these fixed-install system files not being
considered in dependency calculations - see compiler docs). If ``SYSTEM``
is used together with ``PUBLIC`` or ``INTERFACE``, the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES` target property will be
populated with the specified directories.
Arguments to ``target_include_directories`` may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)`
manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
Include directories usage requirements commonly differ between the build-tree
and the install-tree. The ``BUILD_INTERFACE`` and ``INSTALL_INTERFACE``
generator expressions can be used to describe separate usage requirements
based on the usage location. Relative paths are allowed within the
``INSTALL_INTERFACE`` expression and are interpreted relative to the
installation prefix. For example:
.. code-block:: cmake
target_include_directories(mylib PUBLIC
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/include/mylib>
$<INSTALL_INTERFACE:include/mylib> # <prefix>/include/mylib
)
