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.

-------
:prop_tgt:`MACOSX_RPATH` is enabled by default.
CMake 2.8.12 and newer has support for using ``@rpath`` in a target's install
name. This was enabled by setting the target property
:prop_tgt:`MACOSX_RPATH`. The ``@rpath`` in an install name is a more
flexible and powerful mechanism than ``@executable_path`` or ``@loader_path``
for locating shared libraries.
CMake 3.0 and later prefer this property to be ON by default. Projects
wanting ``@rpath`` in a target's install name may remove any setting of
the :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` and :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR`
variables.
