Robert Maynard 322cdc4825 Help: Document supported compilers in cmake-compile-features.7
Extend sentences in other documentation linking to this manual to
say that it has a list of supported compilers.

Brad King 3228fc5049 Features: Define meaning for no language standard default
Define an empty string in CMAKE_<LANG>_STANDARD_DEFAULT to mean that
the toolchain has no notion of lanuage standard levels.  In this case
the <LANG>_STANDARD[_REQUIRED] properties will have no effect.

Update the RunCMake.CompileFeatures test to exclude the
LinkImplementationFeatureCycle test when there is no standard default.
It can never fail because no use of specific features will adjust the
CXX_STANDARD level required for any target since the standard levels
have no meaning in this case.

Stephen Kelly 60a981ea8e Features: Enable compiler extensions by default.
Compilers enable their extensions by default, and disabling them
implicitly can lead to results which are surprising or non-obvious
to debug.

Stephen Kelly e0890d03a4 Features: Extend concept to C language.
Add properties and variables corresponding to CXX equivalents.

Add features for c_function_prototypes (C90), c_restrict (C99),
c_variadic_macros (C99) and c_static_assert (C11). This feature
set can be extended later.

Add a <PREFIX>_RESTRICT symbol define to WriteCompilerDetectionHeader
to conditionally represent the c_restrict feature.
