Betsy McPhail f62d301b92 ctest: Optionally avoid starting tests that may exceed a given CPU load
Add a TestLoad setting to CTest that can be set via a new --test-load
command-line option, CTEST_TEST_LOAD variable, or TEST_LOAD option to
the ctest_test command.  Teach cmCTestMultiProcessHandler to measure
the CPU load and avoid starting tests that may take more than the
spare load currently available.  The expression

 <current_load> + <test_processors> <= <max-load>

must be true to start a new test.

Brad King 7244e8452f ctest: Consolidate documentation of CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS (#15533)
The documentation of this variable in the CTest module is outdated
and has been superseded by the ctest(1) manual.  In particular, the
latter mentions that it works with the Ninja generator as well as
makefile generators.  Remove the documentation from the CTest module
and replace it with a link to the main variable documentation (which
already references the ctest(1) manual).

Brad King fef1f26749 Help: Fix {GIT,P4}UpdateCustom documentation (#15512)
The GITUpdateCustom and P4UpdateCustom options take only one command
line with all arguments as a ;-list, not a ;-list of multiple command
lines.  Fix the incorrect documentation originally added by commit
v3.1.0-rc1~463^2 (Help: Document ctest dashboard client usage,
2014-05-30).

Bill Hoffman fde70a1b26 ctest: Add a new --repeat-until-fail option
This option tells ctest to run each test N times until the test fails or
the N times have run. This is useful for finding random failing tests.

Brad King b8aa0cdf9b Help: Replace 'Dart' with 'CDash' in ctest.1 manual
The modern dashboard server is CDash, not Dart, so update the manual
to talk about CTest as a CDash client.  Also drop documentation for
a Dart2-specific option.

Brad King 8d33209170 CTest: Add options to set generator platform
The ctest_configure command already reads the CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR
variable to get the value for the cmake -G option.  Read new variable
CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to pass on as CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.

The "ctest --build-and-test" mode already has "--build-generator" to
specify the -G option to CMake.  Add a "--build-generator-platform" option
to specify a value to pass on as CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM.

Bill Hoffman 39b5df2f37 ctest_update: Add CTEST_UPDATE_VERSION_ONLY option to only note the version
This allows ctest_update to get the current version without actually
changing the repository.  This is useful when using Jenkins or an
external project to update the source to a specific version, but you
still want the current version to show up in CDash.

Brad King 96966b5c80 ctest: Make the --build-makeprogram optional for --build-and-test
GenerateBuildCommand now knows how to lookup CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM or
choose a generator-provided default build tool.  Therefore the
--build-makeprogram can now be optional and simply override the
default selection when provided.

Note that with --build-nocmake we now need to load the cache in order to
make the CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM entry available to GenerateBuildCommand.

Brad King f88332f5b7 Help: Glob manual/*.rst in Sphinx configuration
Add the man page description line as explicit markup at the top of each
Help/manual/*.rst file and scan it from conf.py to automatically
generate the man_pages Sphinx configuration value.  This reduces the
number of places that need to be changed when a new manual is added.
