Ryan Thornton 3b4838b57f GoogleTest: Add tests for MultiConfig discovery in PRE_TEST mode
PRE_TEST makes it possible to properly distinguish between test cases
that exist only in certain configurations.

In the new test scenario, debug tests are disabled in release builds,
and release tests are disabled in debug builds
when a multi config generator is used.

Note, this is a bit of a hack and *only* works for PRE_TEST mode.

POST_BUILD makes no attempt to get this right. It preserves the status quo
and you obtain the tests that were last discovered.

See further discussion in !4078

Ideally, the POST_BUILD behavior could be fixed
by using generator expressions in OUTPUT and BYPRODUCT expressions.

Then you could do something like:

    set(ctest_include_file "${ctest_file_base}_include-$<CONFIG>.cmake")
    set(ctest_tests_file "${ctest_file_base}_tests-$<CONFIG>.cmake")

Once #12877 lands, maybe this can be revisited.

This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything.  To add a test:

1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.

2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
   test directory name ``<Test>``.

3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::

    include(RunCMake)
    run_cmake(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_cmake(SubTestN)

   where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
   corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.

   One may also add calls of the form::

    run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)

   to fully customize the test case command-line.

   Alternatively, if the test is to cover running ``ctest -S`` then use::

    include(RunCTest)
    run_ctest(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_ctest(SubTestN)

   and create ``test.cmake.in``, ``CTestConfig.cmake.in``, and
   ``CMakeLists.txt.in`` files to be configured for each case.

4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::

    cmake_minimum_required(...)
    project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
    include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)

   where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal.  A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
   will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
   sub-test.

5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
   above containing the actual test code.  Optionally create files
   containing expected test results:

   ``<SubTest>-result.txt``
    Regex matching expected process result, if not ``0``
   ``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
    Regex matching expected stdout content
   ``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
    Regex matching expected stderr content, if not ``^$``
   ``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
    Custom result check.

  Note that when a specific platform expects differing stdout or stderr that
  can be done by adding a platform specific output file. These follow the
  naming convention of:
   ``<SubTest>-stdout-<platform_lower_case>.txt``
   ``<SubTest>-stderr-<platform_lower_case>.txt``

   Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
   test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
   The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables

   ``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
    Top of test source tree
   ``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
    Top of test binary tree

   and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.

To speed up local testing, you can choose to run only a subset of
``run_cmake()`` tests in a ``RunCMakeTest.cmake`` script by using the
``RunCMake_TEST_FILTER`` environment variable. If this variable is set,
it is treated as a regular expression, and any tests whose names don't
match the regular expression are not run. For example::

  $ RunCMake_TEST_FILTER="^example" ctest -R '^RunCMake\.Example$'

This will only run subtests in ``RunCMake.Example`` that start with
``example``.
