Brad King 65624c39e3 VS14: Add Visual Studio 14 generator (#14982)
Call the generator "Visual Studio 14" without any year because this
version of VS does not provide a year in the product name.

Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio12Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator
and update version numbers accordingly.  Add the VS14 enumeration value.
Teach the platform module Windows-MSVC to set MSVC14 and document the
variable.  Teach module InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to look for the VS
14 runtime libraries.

Teach tests CheckCompilerRelatedVariables, VSExternalInclude, and
RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 14 as they do VS 10, 11, and 12.

Brad King c9568de52c install: Add CMAKE_INSTALL_MESSAGE variable (#13761)
Create a variable to allow users to control which installation
messages are printed.  In particular, provide a "LAZY" setting
that prints "Installing" messages but not "Up-to-date" messages.
This is desirable for incremental re-installations.

Brad King 7abd574798 cmake: Add '-E env' command-line tool
Extend the cmake command-line interface to support

 cmake -E env [--unset=NAME]... [NAME=VALUE]... COMMAND [ARG]...

This will be useful to run processes with modified environments
without using a shell or a full "cmake -P" script to wrap it.

Extend the RunCMake.CommandLine test to cover success and failure cases.

Allow setting build properties based on the features available
for a target.  The availability of features is determined at
generate-time by evaluating the link implementation.

COMPILE_FEATURES in the link implementation is not lower than that
provided by the INTERFACE of the link implementation.  This is
similar to handling of transitive properties such as
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE.

* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the User Package
  Registry in all the find_package calls.
* CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the
  System Package Registry in all the find_package calls.

Stephen Kelly 8ed59fc207 Add target_compile_features command.
This can be used to set the compiler features required by particular

by the features used, that will be added automatically.

and missing targets.

Brad King a41c0a9dcb Do not warn by default when policy CMP0025 or CMP0047 is not set
These policies are triggered by the use of a particular compiler rather
than outdated CMake code in a project.  Avoid warning in every project
that enables a language by not displaying the policy warning by default.
Add variable CMAKE_POLICY_WARNING_CMP<NNNN> to control the warning
explicitly; otherwise enable the warning with --debug-output or --trace.

This breaks with strict policy convention because it does not provide
developers with any warning about the behavior change by default.
Existing projects will continue to build without a warning or change in
behavior.  When a developer changes the minimum required version of
CMake in a project to a sufficiently high value (3.0), the project will
suddenly get the new compiler id and may break, but at least the
breakage comes with a change to the project rather than the version of
CMake used to build it.

Breaking strict policy convention is worthwhile in this case because
very few projects will be affected by the behavior change but every
project would have to see the warning if it were enabled by default.

Brad King fba51b096e MSVC: Add properties to configure compiler PDB files (#14762)
Since commit v2.8.12~437^2~2 (VS: Separate compiler and linker PDB files
2013-04-05) we no longer set /Fd with the PDB_NAME or PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
properties.  Those properties now exclusively handle linker PDB files.
Since STATIC libraries do not link their compiler PDB file becomes more
important.  Add new target properties "COMPILE_PDB_NAME[_<CONFIG>]" and
"COMPILE_PDB_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY[_<CONFIG>]" to specify the compiler PDB
file location and pass the value to the MSVC /Fd option.

People will be tempted to put things there for convenience, thereby
causing conflicts similar to

 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35162/focus=35169

where it is conceivable that the LLVM developers could put a flag on
a target for convenience, which would cause conflicts for some downstreams.

Brad King 7e142c5ac2 project: Manage VERSION variables
Teach the project() command to set variables

  {PROJECT,<PROJECT-NAME>}_VERSION{,_MAJOR,_MINOR,_PATCH,_TWEAK}

holding the project version number and its components.  Add project()
command option "VERSION" to specify the version explicitly, and default
to the empty string when it is not given.

Since this clears variables when no VERSION is given, this may change
behavior for existing projects that set the version variables themselves
prior to calling project().  Add policy CMP0048 for compatibility.
