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:: 3.20
The :prop_sf:`GENERATED` source file property is now visible in all directories.
Whether or not a source file is generated is an all-or-nothing global
property of the source. Consequently, the associated ``GENERATED``
property is now visible from any directory scope, not only from the scope
for which it was set.
Additionally, the ``GENERATED`` property may now be set only to boolean
values, and may not be turned off once turned on.
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is to only allow ``GENERATED`` to be
visible from the directory scope for which it was set. The ``NEW``
behavior on the other hand allows it to be visible from any scope.
