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.

-------
:command:`link_directories` treats paths relative to the source dir.
In CMake 2.8.0 and lower the :command:`link_directories` command passed
relative paths unchanged to the linker. In CMake 2.8.1 and above the
:command:`link_directories` command prefers to interpret relative paths with
respect to ``CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR``, which is consistent with
:command:`include_directories` and other commands. The ``OLD`` behavior for
this policy is to use relative paths verbatim in the linker command. The
``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to convert relative paths to absolute
paths by appending the relative path to ``CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR``.
