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.

-------
Prefer files from the CMake module directory when including from there.
Starting with CMake 2.8.4, if a cmake-module shipped with CMake (i.e.
located in the CMake module directory) calls :command:`include` or
:command:`find_package`, the files located in the CMake module directory are
preferred over the files in :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH`. This makes sure
that the modules belonging to CMake always get those files included which
they expect, and against which they were developed and tested. In all
other cases, the files found in :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` still take
precedence over the ones in the CMake module directory. The ``OLD``
behavior is to always prefer files from CMAKE_MODULE_PATH over files
from the CMake modules directory.
