Peter Kokot 7cfc111df3 Help: Update CMAKE_REQUIRED_* variables for checks
This moves indentation of the included RST files to the initial level
and instead indents the include directives where used.

Additionally:
- Instead of ";-list", "semicolon-separated list" is used.
- Instead of mentioning `<resultVar>` argument, a more general
  description is used.
- Few minor tweaks added.

CheckCompilerFlag
---------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.19
Check once whether the ``<lang>`` compiler supports a given flag.
.. command:: check_compiler_flag
.. code-block:: cmake
check_compiler_flag(<lang> <flag> <resultVar>)
Check once that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the ``<lang>`` compiler without
a diagnostic. The result is stored in the internal cache variable specified by
``<resultVar>``, with boolean ``true`` for success and boolean ``false`` for
failure.
``true`` indicates only that the compiler did not issue a diagnostic message
when given the flag. Whether the flag has any effect is beyond the scope of
this module.
Internally, :command:`try_compile` is used to perform the check. If
:variable:`CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` is set to ``EXECUTABLE`` (default),
the check compiles and links an executable program. If set to
``STATIC_LIBRARY``, the check is compiled but not linked.
The compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the
following variables prior to calling ``check_compiler_flag()``. Unknown flags
in these variables can case a false negative result.
