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:: 3.27
:command:`find_package` uses upper-case ``<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT`` variables.
In CMake 3.27 and above the :command:`find_package(<PackageName>)` command now
searches prefixes specified by the upper-case :variable:`<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT`
CMake variable and the :envvar:`<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT` environment variable
in addition to the case-preserved :variable:`<PackageName>_ROOT` and
:envvar:`<PackageName>_ROOT` variables used since policy :policy:`CMP0074`.
This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been
updated to avoid using ``<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT`` variables for other purposes.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to ignore ``<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT``
variables if the original ``<PackageName>`` has lower-case characters.
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to use ``<PACKAGENAME>_ROOT``
variables.
