Brad King 7f7068e9d4 ENH: Add cmake_policy(GET) command mode
It is likely that projects or CMake modules in the future will need to
check the value of a policy setting.  For example, if we add a policy
that affects the results of FindXYZ.cmake modules, the module code will
need to be able to check the policy.

Brad King 1c0e1702c0 ENH: Improve documentation of cmake_policy command.
- Add a paragraph introducing the policy mechanism
  - Explicitly introduce the CMP<NNNN>, OLD, and NEW notation
  - Note that setting policies by CMake version is preferred
  - Fix SET signature to use CMP<NNNN> notation
  - Add more details about the policy stack

Brad King 5233b75a77 ENH: Improve handling of old-style compatibility.
- Remove CMP_0001 (no slash in target name) and restore
    old CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY check for it
  - Replace all checks of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
    with cmLocalGenerator::NeedBackwardsCompatibility calls
  - Create new CMP_0001 to determine whether or not
    CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY is used.
    (old = use, new = ignore)
  - Show CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY in cache only when
    CMP_0001 is set to OLD or WARN
  - Update documentation of cmake_policy and cmake_minimum_required
    to indicate their relationship and the 2.4 version boundary
  - When no cmake policy version is set in top level makefile
    implicitly call cmake_policy(VERSION 2.4) which restores
    CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY and other 2.4 compatibility
  - Fix tests MakeClean and Preprocess to call
    cmake_policy(VERSION 2.6) because they depend on new policies
