Brad King 86578eccf2 Simplify CMake per-source license notices
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool.  Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience.  Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.

Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices.  It also references version control
history for more precise information.  Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.

Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing".  The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.

Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically.  Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files.  Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.

Brad King 4feba34d02 GNU: Do not use -fvisibility on AIX or HP-UX

Brad King 8a98cf6432 Honor CMAKE_*_LINKER_FLAGS[_<CONFIG>]_INIT set in toolchain files
Document these variables.

Change our convention for setting these variables from:

    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "...")

to

    string(APPEND CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT " ...")

so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.

Marc Chevrier f254276fc1 AIX,HP-UX: Fix RPATH handling when CMP0065 is set to NEW
The CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_<LANG>_FLAGS setting has always been meant
for flags needed to export symbols from executables for use by shared
library plugins.  Since commit v3.4.0-rc1~58^2~1 (CMP0065: Restrict the
use of CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_LINK_<LANG>_FLAGS, 2015-08-24) this is made
explicit by using the flags only for executables with ENABLE_EXPORTS,
guarded by CMP0065 for compatibility.

On some platforms we were accidentally using this setting to pass other
flags to the linker:

* AIX: -bnoipath, -brtl
* HP-UX: +s, +nodefaultrpath

These flags are incorrectly dropped when CMP0065 is set to NEW.  Fix
this by moving the flags to more appropriate places for linking
executables.

Brad King bce7a2a3a5 AIX: Do not use -brtl to create shared libraries (#13997)
The flag was added incorrectly by commit 9c3a6eb4 (Need -brtl when creating
shared libraries, 2003-05-16).  According to "man ld" the -G option implies
"-brtl -bnortllib ...", -brtl implies "-brtllib", and -brtllib should only be
used for executables, not shared libraries.  Therefore it is incorrect and
unnecessary to specify -brtl explicitly after -G.

Brad King baa33acbda AIX-GNU: Put implicit link directories in runtime libpath (#13909)
The GNU compiler front-ends on AIX invoke the linker with flags of the
form "-L/path/to/gnu/runtime/lib" to tell ld where to find the language
runtime libraries.  They depend on the default libpath behavior
documented in "man ld" to add the -L paths also to the runtime libpath
so the dynamic loader can find the language runtime libraries.  This
differs from platforms whose linkers have distinct -rpath flags that
non-system compilers can use to tell the dynamic loader where to find
their language runtime libraries.

Since commit 96fd5909 (Implement linking with paths to library files,
2008-01-22) CMake always passes "-Wl,-blibpath:" followed by any
project-defined RPATH plus "/usr/lib:/lib" in order to explicitly set
the runtime libpath and avoid getting all the project -L paths in the
runtime libpath.  The explicit libpath prevents the GNU compiler runtime
library -L paths from being placed in the libpath and then the dynamic
loader fails to find the language runtime libraries.

CMake already detects the implicit link directories for each language
since commit 07ea19ad (Implicit link info for C, CXX, and Fortran,
2009-07-23).  Add the implicit link directories to the explicit runtime
libpath for GNU compilers on AIX to fix this use case.

Brad King 767a7ad9da AIX-GNU: Link shared libs with -brtl,-bnoipath (#13352)
We already use these flags with the XL toolchain.  Use them for GNU too.

Brad King d30dcf18b9 Move RPATH flags to AIX per-compiler information files
Move RPATH flags out of Platform/AIX.cmake into platform-specific
compiler information files Platform/AIX-XL and Platform/AIX-GNU.
The flags need to be set for each compiler of each language.

Brad King e28c16b482 Split GNU compiler information files
This moves GNU compiler flags into new-style modules

  Compiler/GNU-<lang>.cmake
  Platform/<os>-GNU-<lang>.cmake

We use language-independent helper modules

  Compiler/GNU.cmake
  Platform/<os>-GNU.cmake

to define macros consolidating the information.
