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:: 3.14
The :module:`FindQt` module does not exist for :command:`find_package`.
The existence of :module:`FindQt` means that for Qt upstream to provide
package config files that can be found by ``find_package(Qt)``, the consuming
project has to explicitly specify ``find_package(Qt CONFIG)``. Removing this
module gives Qt a path forward for exporting its own config files which can
easily be found by consuming projects.
This policy pretends that CMake's internal :module:`FindQt` module does not
exist for :command:`find_package`. If a project really wants to use Qt 3 or 4,
it can call ``find_package(Qt[34])``, ``include(FindQt)``, or add
:module:`FindQt` to their :variable:`CMAKE_MODULE_PATH`.
The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is for :module:`FindQt` to exist for
:command:`find_package`. The ``NEW`` behavior is to pretend that it doesn't
exist for :command:`find_package`.
