Brad King ad3c2c0b03 Help: Normalize and consolidate standard policy advice paragraph
Every policy's documentation has a paragraph on what version of CMake
introduced it, how to set the policy, and whether CMake warns if the
policy is not set.  The wording of this paragraph has diverged across
policies over time.  Factor the paragraph out into a standard advice
document included by every policy.

-------
Disallow add_custom_command SOURCE signatures.
CMake 2.8.12 and lower allowed a signature for :command:`add_custom_command`
which specified an input to a command. This was undocumented behavior.
Modern use of CMake associates custom commands with their output, rather
than their input.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to allow the use of
:command:`add_custom_command` SOURCE signatures. The ``NEW`` behavior for this
policy is to issue an error if such a signature is used.
