James Johnston 6556481eb8 Help: Document that SHARED libraries must export a symbol (#15775)
CMake assumes that a SHARED library compiled on Windows will export a LIB file.
This is not actually the case on Visual C++ if the library does not export any
symbols, and causes incremental builds to break if the user specifies SHARED
anyway.  (Users should use MODULE libraries instead.)

TestNameThatExists has been added with add_test.  The syntax is similar

could previously be interpreted as a non-keyword argument, add policy
CMP0064 to treat it as a keyword as NEW behavior.

Betsy McPhail f62d301b92 ctest: Optionally avoid starting tests that may exceed a given CPU load
Add a TestLoad setting to CTest that can be set via a new --test-load
command-line option, CTEST_TEST_LOAD variable, or TEST_LOAD option to
the ctest_test command.  Teach cmCTestMultiProcessHandler to measure
the CPU load and avoid starting tests that may take more than the
spare load currently available.  The expression

 <current_load> + <test_processors> <= <max-load>

must be true to start a new test.

Brad King 482a3bf3f0 Help: Document explicitly that policy OLD behavior is deprecated
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in
response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself.
Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating
that the OLD behavior is deprecated.  Also mention this in the
cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a
policy to OLD.

Brad King 1506f9ca56 find_package: Drop search in recent cmake-gui locations
The find_package command, on Windows, has always searched build trees
recently visited by cmake-gui (or CMakeSetup at one time).  This was
done when the command was created with the intention of simplifying
workflows involving building multiple dependent projects.  However,
this behavior depends on recent developer interaction and therefore
can create different find results based on transient system states.
It can lead to surprising results and user confusion.

Since this behavior was first added CMake has gained many more search
options, better error messages when a package is not found, and a
package registry.  The latter in particular allows projects to make
their build trees available for dependent projects to find without
user intervention.  Therefore the originally intended workflow can
be achieved in other, more stable ways.

After the above evoluion of find_package we have now decided that
the magic search-where-cmake-gui-was behavior does more harm than
good.  Drop it.  We do not need a policy for this behavior change
because it only affects interactive use.
