Brad King d256ba078a try_compile: Optionally forward custom platform variables to test project
Add a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_PLATFORM_VARIABLES` variable to specify a list
of custom variables to be forwarded to a `try_compile` test project.
This will be useful for platform information modules or toolchain files
to forward some platform-specific set of variables from the host project
(perhaps set in its cache) to the test project so that it can build the
same way.

Reiner Herrmann edcccde7d6 file: Sort GLOB results to make it deterministic (#14491)
Even though the `file(GLOB)` documentation specifically warns against
using it to collect a list of source files, projects often do it anyway.
Since it uses `readdir()`, the list of files will be unsorted.
This list is often passed directly to add_executable / add_library.
Linking binaries with an unsorted list will make it unreproducible,
which means that the produced binary will differ depending on the
unpredictable `readdir()` order.

To solve those reproducibility issues in a lot of programs (which don't
explicitly `list(SORT)` the list manually), sort the resulting list of
the `file(GLOB)` command.

A more detailed rationale about reproducible builds is available
[here](https://reproducible-builds.org/).

Brad King b30b32a493 Drop find_(library|file|path) prefixes from PATH on non-Windows
Since commit v3.3.0-rc1~430^2 (Teach find_(library|file|path) to get
prefixes from PATH, 2015-02-18) we search in <prefix>/include and
<prefix>/lib directories for prefixes with bin directories in the PATH
environment variable.  The motivation was to support MSYS, MinGW and
similar Windows platforms in their default environments automatically.
At the time this behavior was thought to be worthwhile in general.

Brad King 7f1bd9fe69 try_compile: Add option to control type of target
Create a `CMAKE_TRY_COMPILE_TARGET_TYPE` option to specify use
of `add_library(... STATIC ...)` for the generated test project.
This will be useful for cross-compiling toolchains that cannot
link a binary without custom flags or scripts.

Nick Lewis 18ce97c4a2 install: Add EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option (#14921)
Let us take an example of a project that has some tests in a component
that need to be installed into a dedicated test package.  The user
expectation is that the result could be achieved by typing the
following:

    make
    make tests
    make install
    DESTDIR=/testpkgs make install-tests

However this results in test components in the default installation as
well as the testpkg.

Add an EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL option to the install() command to tell it that
the installation rule should not be included unless its component is
explicitly specified for installation.

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.)
