ENH: Improve warning about specifying a cmake version

- Update policy CMP0000 to require use of the command
    cmake_minimum_required and not cmake_policy
    so there is only one way to avoid it.
  - Explicitly specify the line users should add.
  - Reference policy CMP0000 only at the end.
  - Fix policy CMP0000 documentation to not suggest
    use of the cmake_policy command.
