Brad King eb5ea5a505 CMakeVersion: Use '-rc0' version suffix on release branches prior to rc1
Revert the change from commit 7b354baad5 (CMakeVersion: Set
CMake_VERSION_RC to 0 even in non-rc versions, 2019-07-25) and instead
define a `0` value in `CMake_VERSION_RC` to mean `-rc0`.  This
distinguishes release branch versions prior to the first release
candidate from the first release candidate itself.  It also makes room
for a dedicated "CMake $major.$minor.0-rc1" release commit for `-rc1` as
we have for later release candidates and final releases.

branches and tags.  Upstream development processes are covered by the
following documents:

* The `CMake Review Process`_ manages integration of changes.
* The `CMake Testing Process`_ drives integration testing.
