Brad King 7d73e88d3a MSVC: Revert "Default to -ZI instead of /Zi for x86 and x64"
Revert commit 5fcadc481e (MSVC: Default to -ZI instead of /Zi for x86
and x64, 2022-05-24).  The `-ZI` flag is incompatible with the `-GL`
flag used for IPO, and so is not an unconditionally better default.
Revert the change pending future design of a first-class setting for
MSVC debug info format that can be automatically reconciled with IPO
settings.

That commit introduced policy CMP0138, but we already have later policy
numbers used too.  Leave placeholder text to avoid policy renumbering.

CMake Tests Directory
*********************

This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.

.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst

Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.

* ``CMakeLib/``:
  Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
  defined over in ``Source/``.

* ``CMakeOnly/``:
  Deprecated.  Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.

* ``Find*/``:
  Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
  the corresponding packages installed.  They are enabled in
  ``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.

* ``Module/``:
  Tests for specific CMake modules.

* ``RunCMake/``:
  Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
  their return code and stdout/stderr content.  Useful for testing
  error cases and diagnostic output.
