Use the highest standard compile flags available if requested language
version is too new.
This supports use-cases like
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
# Compiled with -std=c++11 with GNU 4.7, which has no -std=c++14
# or equivalent flag
add_executable(main main.cpp)
This can be used in combination with preprocessor defines which
communicate the availability of certain language features for
optional use.

In commit v3.0.0-rc1~103^2~3 (ExternalProject: Reattempt download when
verification fails, 2014-01-15) a reference to ${CMAKE_COMMAND} was
added to generate a reference to the CMake command in a cmake script.
Escape the '$' so that the literal variable reference appears in the
script instead of writing the path to the current cmake. This is
necessary when the path to CMake contains spaces or other characters
special to CMake syntax.

0cce556b Xcode: Use sysroot and deployment target to identify compiler

416761e3 Add platform-specific initialization step when enabling languages
Use CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT and CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to set the Xcode
SDKROOT and MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET build settings. This is necessary
because some versions of Xcode select a different compiler based on
these settings. We need to make sure the compiler identified during
language initialization matches what will be used for the actual build.
Initialize variables CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT, CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, and
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES prior to enabling any languages. This will
allow compiler identification to consider these values.
Create a Modules/CMakeSystemSpecificInitialize.cmake module loaded after
CMakeSystem.cmake but before per-language initialization. Use it to
load an optional Platform/<os>-Initialize.cmake module. This will be
useful to do per-platform initialization that does not depend on the
language and use the results when enabling specific languages.
