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.

CMP0049
-------
Do not expand variables in target source entries.
CMake 2.8.12 and lower performed an extra layer of variable expansion
when evaluating source file names::
set(a_source foo.c)
add_executable(foo \${a_source})
.. note: no cmake highlighting since this syntax is deprecated
This was undocumented behavior.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to expand such variables when processing
the target sources. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to issue an error
if such variables need to be expanded.
