Drop use of cmSystemTools::RunCommand. It used popen on UNIX
(equivalent to /bin/sh -c "$command") and direct CreateProcess calls on
Windows. Implement equivalent behavior using the KWSys Process library.
Copy windows shortpath conversion logic from cmSystemTools::RunCommand.

a6fd17c VS: Fix CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER detection with Intel toolset (#14471)
The Intel Fortran 10 64-bit compiler incorrectly defines _MSC_VER to its
own version (1020) instead of the underlying MSVC tools version. Since
we expect the compiler to be used only with VS >= 7 tools, assume MSVC
version 13.0 if _MSC_VER is not greater than 1300.
Teach CMake(C|CXX|Fortran)CompilerId* to report the MSVC version
simulated by the Intel compiler, if any. Refactor the Windows-Intel
platform information helper module to load Windows-MSVC instead of
duplicating the information. Teach Windows-MSVC to understand when
it is loaded as the simulated Fortran compiler (its preprocessor is
simulated).
Lookup the Intel VS plugin version on demand in the VS global generator,
compute the corresponding .vfproj format version number, and memoize it.
Add it as a CMAKE_VS_INTEL_Fortran_PROJECT_VERSION platform definition.
These policies were introduced after 2.8.12 in anticipation of 2.8.13.
However, we've now decided the next release will be 3.0.0, so update the
version of introduction accordingly.
The full policy documentation was moved to Help/policy/*.rst by commit
f051814e (Convert builtin help to reStructuredText source files,
2013-10-15). We no longer need the builtin string literals.
In commit 87cc62ca (Drop "full" documentation output types, 2013-09-13)
we dropped code using the LongDescription field of policy definitions.
We need to follow it up with a change similar to commit 399e9c46 (Drop
builtin property documentation, 2013-09-16) to remove the policy
documentation. Do that now. Keep the short description as it is used
in policy error and warning messages.
This has not been allowed since they were introduced in
commit 91438222 (target_link_libraries: Add LINK_(PUBLIC|PRIVATE)
options, 2011-10-07), but allowing this form makes it more compatible
with the newer PUBLIC and PRIVATE keywords.

Check for "cmake -E ..." up front (along with "cmake --build ...") and
skip normal command line processing. Drop the special handling for -E
from the normal processing to simplify things. Strictly speaking, it
was previously possible to invoke command mode with -E anywhere in the
command line e.g. "cmake echo -E message" or "cmake echo message -E",
but no one should be using it as it was not documented and looks
strange.
Make the standard --help-* options available from all command-line
tools. Drop options that are no longer supported:
--copyright, --help-full, --help-html, --help-man,
--help-compatcommands, --help-custom-modules
De-duplicate Help/manual/*.1.rst help options by using an
OPTIONS_HELP.txt file included from each manual.
Add "Synopsis", "Description", and "See Also" manual page section
headers. These are typical of .1 man section pages. Also de-duplicate
the See Also section links using a separate LINKS.txt file included from
each manual.
The Intel Fortran compiler needs the /fpp option to enable C
preprocessing. Without the option the compiler may warn and ignore
preprocessor lines instead of failing with an error. Detect the
warning and treat it as failure so that we move on to try /fpp and
detect the correct id. Without this it works only by luck because
Intel is the first compiler id in our detection source file.

Generator expressions are supported in many places and are a distinct
concept worthy of their own manual page. The old builtin documentation
was previously represented by preprocessor macros to generate it into
each place that supports them. Factor out the duplicate content into a
dedicated cmake-generator-expressions manual page and reference it from
each original location.
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin
documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content
out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the
reStructuredText include directive.
These documents were represented in the builtin documentation using a
common starting point with placeholders substituted by each command.
Convert them back to this approach using the reStructuredText include
directive and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Portions of these documents contain duplicate content generated from
preprocessor macros in the original builtin documentation source.
Factor the common parts out into .txt files using reStructuredText
include directives and substitutions to avoid duplication.
Add a Utilities/Sphinx directory to hold CMake build code to run the
Sphinx (sphinx-doc.org) documentation generation tool. Create a
CMakeLists.txt file there capable of building either as a subdirectory
of the main CMake build, or as a standalone documentation build.
Add cache options SPHINX_MAN and SPHINX_HTML to select output formats
and SPHINX_EXECUTABLE to specify the sphinx-build executable. Add
bootstrap options --sphix-man and --sphinx-html to select output formats
and --sphinx-build=<sb> to specify the sphinx-build executable.
Create a "conf.py.in" file to configure_file into "conf.py" to tell
sphinx-build how to build our documents. Create a "cmake.py" Sphinx
extension module defining:
* The "cmake-module" directive used in Help/module/*.rst files to
scan .rst markup from the corresponding Modules/*.cmake file.
* A Sphinx domain called "cmake" defining documentation object types
for CMake Help/<type> directories: command, generator, manual,
module, policy, prop_*, and variable. Add a "role" for each type
to perform cross-references. Teach the roles to treat "<XYZ>"
as placeholders instead of explicit targets if not preceded by
a space. Add cmake domain directives to define command and
variable objects explicitly in .rst file content. This will
allow modules to define their own commands and variables and
have them indexed and linkable.
* A Sphinx document transform that converts Help/<type>/*.rst documents
into cmake domain objects of the corresponding <type> and adds index
entries for them. This will automatically index all CMake documentation
objects and provide cross-reference targets for them with no special
markup in the .rst files.
Drop all DefineProperty calls for non-chained properties. Drop the
documentation from the chained ones. The documentation for all
properties is now in Help/prop_*/*.rst files.
