Brad King 017d90c500 Documentation: Clarify handling of implicit link directories
Extend documentation for CMAKE_<LANG>_IMPLICIT_LINK_DIRECTORIES to
explain how it is used by CMake and how it can be influenced by
environment variables.

Stephen Kelly bd34963002 Refactor generation of shared library flags
CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS has flags on various platforms for a
variety of purposes that are correlated with shared libraries but not
exclusive to them.  Refactor generation of these flags to use new
purpose-specific platform variables

  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_DLL
  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC
  CMAKE_<lang>_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE

Activate the DLL flags specifically for shared libraries.  Add a new
POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE target property to activate PIC/PIE flags, and
default to true for shared libraries to preserve default behavior.
Initialize the new property from CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE to
allow easy global configuration in projects.

Although the default behavior is unchanged by this refactoring, the new
approach ignores CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS completely.  We must
leave it set in case projects reference the value.  Furthermore, if a
project modifies CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_<lang>_FLAGS it expects the new
value to be used.  Add policy CMP0018 to handle compatibility with
projects that modify this platform variable.

Add a PositionIndependentCode test on platforms where we can get
meaningful results.

Eric NOULARD 4986d525af Use CPACK_xxx and CMAKE_xxx in a consistent way.
CMAKE_xxx vars are now used in the CMake-generated cmake_install.cmake
script while CPACK_xxx equivalent vars are used from within CPack.
CPack is responsible for getting/forwarding definitions of
CPACK_xxxx var corresponding to CMAKE_xxxx when invoking
CMake-generated install scripts.
As a consequence:
CMAKE_ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILES
CMAKE_WARN_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
CMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION
may be used from outside CPack as well.
e.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_ERROR_ON_ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DESTINATION=1 -P cmake_install.cmake
works as expected.

using the new CONFIG and MODULE mode keywords when the minimum required
version of CMake is new enough to have them.  Otherwise word the warning
using the old NO_MODULE mode keyword.

Brad King fa7141f5ad Add framework to detect compiler version with its id (#12408)
Teach CMakePlatformId.h to construct an "INFO:compiler_version[]" string
literal from macros COMPILER_VERSION_(MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH|TWEAK) to be
defined in CMake(C|CXX)CompilerId.(c|cpp) for each compiler.  Provide
conversion macros DEC() and HEX() to decode decimal or hex digits from
integer values.  Parse the version out of the compiler id binary along
with the other INFO values already present.

Store the result in variable CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_VERSION in the format
"major[.minor[.patch[.tweak]]]".  Save the value persistently in
CMake(C|CXX)Compiler.cmake in the build tree.  Document the variable for
internal use since we do not set it everywhere yet.

Report the compiler version on the compiler id result line e.g.

  The C compiler identification is GNU 4.5.2

Report CMAKE_(C|CXX)_COMPILER_(ID|VERSION) in SystemInformation test.

Brad King afb00fef19 Add CMAKE_GNUtoMS option to convert GNU .dll.a to MS .lib
Teach the Windows-GNU.cmake platform file to look for Visual Studio
tools matching the target ABI.  Add an extra step to the link command
for shared libraries and executables that export symbols and on which a
new GNUtoMS property is set (initialized by the CMAKE_GNUtoMS option).
Tell the GNU linker to output a module definition (.def) file listing
exported symbols in addition to the GNU-format import library (.dll.a).
Pass the .def file to the MS "lib" tool to construct a MS-format DLL
import library (.lib).

Teach the install(TARGETS) command to install the MS import library next
to the GNU one.  Teach the install(EXPORT) and export() command to set
the IMPORTED_IMPLIB property pointing at the import library to use the
import library matching the tools in the importing project.

During later configurations the ABI information is immediately available
