Document these variables.
Change our convention for setting these variables from:
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT "...")
to
string(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT " ...")
so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.
Automate the conversion with:
sed -i 's/set *(\(CMAKE_\(C\|CXX\|Fortran\|RC\|ASM\|${[^}]\+}\)_FLAGS\(_[^_]\+\)\?_INIT \+"\)/string(APPEND \1 /' \
Modules/Compiler/*.cmake Modules/Platform/*.cmake
and follow up with some manual fixes (e.g. to cases that already
meant to append). Also revert the automated changes to contexts
that are not protected from running multiple times.
This was added without explanation by commit v2.8.2~1138 (Add initial XL
C compiler flags for safer builds, 2009-09-30). It is not consistent
with our default C++ flags for XL and disables several optimizations, so
drop it from our default flags for C.

Factor duplicate information out of Compiler/XL-<lang>.cmake modules
into a macro in a new Compiler/XL.cmake module. Invoke it from the
per-language files to produce the original settings.
This commit adds some default initial C flags for the XL compiler. The
most important is "-qhalt=e" which causes the compiler to error-out on
non-severe error messages. This is necessary to get try-compiles to
fail when bad arguments are passed to a function.
This moves platform-independent XL compiler flags into separate
"Compiler/XL-<lang>.cmake" modules. Platform-specific flags go in
"Platform/<os>-XL-<lang>.cmake" modules.
IBM rebranded its VisualAge compiler to XL starting at version 8.0. We
use the compiler id "XL" for newer versions and "VisualAge" for older
versions. We now also recognize the "z/OS" compiler, which is distinct
from XL.
