Brad King 88b14c5cf4 Tests: Improve GeneratorExpression SHELL_PATH case robustness on MSYS 1.0
Since commit ca6ba3fee5 (Genex: Add a SHELL_PATH expression, 2015-09-24,
v3.4.0-rc1~37^2) and commit 21da25d2a8 (Tests: Generalize
GeneratorExpression MSYS path conversion workaround, 2019-03-11,
v3.15.0-rc1~407^2~1) we use a prefix string to prevent the MSYS 1.0
shell from converting absolute paths of the form `/c/...` to
windows-style paths.  In the newer `mingw.osdn.io` distribution of MSYS
1.0, the `bash` shell now also converts paths that appear after `:`.
We have no way to add a prefix string in that context, so perform the
test's check of the `SHELL_PATH` genex value at generate time instead.

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  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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.
