Brad King 882f48e5ba Link libraries by full path even in implicit directories
When CMP0003 was first introduced we wanted to link all libraries by
full path.  However, some projects had problems on platforms where
find_library would find /usr/lib/libfoo.so when the project really
wanted to link to /usr/lib/<arch>/libfoo.so and had been working by
accident because pre-CMP0003 behavior used -lfoo to link.

We first tried to address that in commit v2.6.0~440 (Teach find_library
to avoid returning library paths in system directories, 2008-01-23) by
returning just "foo" for libraries in implicit link directories.  This
caused problems for projects expecting find_library to always return a
full path.  We ended up using the solution in commit v2.6.0~366 (...
switch library paths found in implicit link directories to use -l,
2008-01-31).  However, the special case for libraries in implicit link
directories has also proven problematic and confusing.

Introduce policy CMP0060 to switch to linking all libraries by full path
even if they are in implicit link directories.  Explain in the policy
documentation the factors that led to the original approach and now to
this approach.

Matt McCormick e942526b3d try_run: Use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR.
If the CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR variable is defined, and
CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is TRUE, then use CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to run
the try_run executables. This prevents the need to populate
TryRunResults.cmake when cross compiling.

Revert commit v3.0.0-rc1~175^2~20 (add_dependencies: Disallow use with
INTERFACE_LIBRARY, 2013-12-25).  Teach our dependency analysis to
transitively follow INTERFACE target utility dependencies as was done or
IMPORTED targets in commit v2.8.6~127^2~1 (Allow add_dependencies() on
imported targets, 2010-11-19).  Extend the InterfaceLibrary test with a

Brad King ffc06c1239 Teach find_(library|file|path) to get prefixes from PATH (#15370)
The find_package command already knows how to compute installation
prefixes from PATH.  Use the same approach to establish prefixes for
find_library, find_file, and find_path to use to look in directories
like "<prefix>/lib[/<arch>]" and "<prefix>/include" for libraries and
headers.  This will reduce the amount of configuration end users need to
do to establish a work environment rooted under a specific prefix.

Brad King f30022eb07 install: Allow generator expressions in TARGETS DESTINATION (#14317)
This will allow per-config destinations for targets in EXPORT sets.
Using multiple install(TARGETS) with separate CONFIGURATIONS is
rejected as a target appearing more than once in an export set.
Now instead one can write

 install(TARGETS foo EXPORT exp DESTINATION lib/$<CONFIG>)

to get a single logical membership of the target in the export set
while still having a per-config destination.
