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:: 3.17
Target link properties :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS`,
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_DIRECTORIES` and :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_DEPENDS`
are now transitive over private dependencies of static libraries.
In CMake 3.16 and below the interface link properties attached to libraries
are not propagated for private dependencies of static libraries.
Only the libraries themselves are propagated to link the dependent binary.
CMake 3.17 and later prefer to propagate all interface link properties.
This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated
to expect the new behavior.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to not propagate interface link
properties. The ``NEW`` behavior of this policy is to propagate interface link
properties.
