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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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 58b2d760ee Modules: Format documentation to avoid over-long preformatted lines
Convert several preformatted code block literals that enumerate lists of
options or variables to use reST definition lists instead.  Manually
wrap other long lines in code blocks.

Alex Neundorf 41d2f2c4cb write_basic_package_version_file: use PROJECT_VERSION
In the write_basic_package_version_file(), the VERSION argument
is now optional. If none is given, it falls back to ${PROJECT_VERSION}.

Kitware Robot f051814ed0 Convert builtin help to reStructuredText source files
Run the convert-help.bash script to convert documentation:

 ./convert-help.bash "/path/to/CMake-build/bin"

Then remove it.

Kitware Robot 9db3116226 Remove CMake-language block-end command arguments
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block.  This is no longer the preferred style.

Run the following shell code:

for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
    echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed

Alex Neundorf 6973e2d5a8 wrap write_basic_config_version_file as write_basic_package_version_file()
So the name fits better with configure_package_config_file(), as
discussed on the mailing list. Adapt the documentation accordingly.

Alex Neundorf d216a67e4a Provide macro write_basic_config_version_file()
This macro can be used to generate basic version files which can be
installed along a Config.cmake file to provide versioning support.

This (3rd try) is implemented using a macro, which maps
the COMPATIBILITY mode to a filename and configure_file()s the
resulting file.
