James Johnston 3bb707f0a1 Help: Improve formatting of variable documentation
Improve formatting, primarily by:

* Adding links to relevant commands, properties, generators, and so on.
* Converting code, symbols, paths, and so on to fixed-width fonts.
* Hard wrapping lines to 80 characters or less.

Brad King eb7d815649 cmake: Add -A option to specify a generator platform
Define the 'cmake -A' option to set CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM
without having to spell out the whole variable name.  We choose
the name '-A' for "platform" because '-P' is already taken, and
in the common use case the "platform" is actually an architecture
(e.g. x64).

Teach the RunCMake test infrastructure to use -A to pass the generator
platform.  Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case to
verify that the -A option cannot be repeated.

Brad King 0f1f1271e6 CMake: Add CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM option
Reject the option by default.  It will be implemented on a per-generator
basis.  Pass the setting into try_compile project generation.  Add cache
entry CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM and associated variable documentation to
hold the value persistently.

Add a RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test to cover basic use cases for the
option.  Verify that CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM is empty by default, and
that it is rejected when the generator does not support a user setting.
