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:: 3.28
C++ sources in targets with at least C++20 are scanned for imports
when supported.
CMake 3.27 and below assume that C++ sources do not ``import`` modules.
CMake 3.28 and above prefer to assume that C++ sources in targets using C++20
or higher might ``import`` modules, and must be scanned before compiling,
unless explicitly disabled. This policy provides compatibility for projects
that use C++20 or higher, without modules, that have not been updated to turn
off scanning, e.g., via the :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_SCAN_FOR_MODULES` variable.
See the :manual:`cmake-cxxmodules(7)` manual for more details on C++ module
support.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to assume that C++ 20 and newer
sources do not import modules. The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to
assume that C++ 20 and newer files may import modules if the compiler
understands how to scan for their dependencies, and need to be scanned.
