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.

.. versionadded:: 3.3
Do not treat ``DEFINITIONS`` as a built-in directory property.
CMake 3.3 and above no longer make a list of definitions available through
the :prop_dir:`DEFINITIONS` directory property. The
:prop_dir:`COMPILE_DEFINITIONS` directory property may be used instead.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to provide the list of flags given
so far to the :command:`add_definitions` command. The ``NEW`` behavior is
to behave as a normal user-defined directory property.
