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:: 3.12
Include file check macros honor ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``.
In CMake 3.12 and above, the
* ``check_include_file`` macro in the :module:`CheckIncludeFile` module, the
* ``check_include_file_cxx`` macro in the
:module:`CheckIncludeFileCXX` module, and the
* ``check_include_files`` macro in the :module:`CheckIncludeFiles` module
now prefer to link the check executable to the libraries listed in the
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` variable. This policy provides compatibility
with projects that have not been updated to expect this behavior.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to ignore ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
in the include file check macros. The ``NEW`` behavior of this policy is to
honor ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES`` in the include file check macros.
