Brad King cb53d9309e block: Fix variable scope protection from modification by subdirectories
When `cmStateSnapshot::RaiseScope` raises a variable in to a parent
directory scope, it uses `GetBuildsystemDirectoryParent` to find the
current top-most scope on the directory's stack.  Since commit 3f4e5e8c3d
(cmState: Return end snapshot for GetBuildsystemDirectoryParent.,
2015-09-01, v3.4.0-rc1~100^2~1), that depends on the `DirectoryEnd`
field in the directory's state.  However, when variable-only scopes were
added by commit 6954c8936f (cmState: Add a VariableScope snapshot type.,
2015-08-01, v3.4.0-rc1~179^2~1), we neglected to account for the
addition of that field by commit 52dbe654de (cmState: Record the end
position of each directory., 2015-08-01, v3.4.0-rc1~251^2~1).

Prior to commit 44a2f3f332 (Add new flow-control commands for variables
and policies scopes management, 2022-08-05, v3.25.0-rc1~257^2) this
problem went unnoticed because there was no way to have a variable scope
at the top of a directory's stack while processing a subdirectory. Now
the `block()/endblock()` commands enable the behavior, so fix tracking
of a variable scope as the top-most scope in a directory.

Fixes: #24138

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  Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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