- The find_* commands now provide a HINTS option.
- The option specifies paths to be preferred over the system paths.
- Many Find* modules were using two find calls with NO_DEFAULT_PATH
to approximate the behavior, but that blocked users from overriding
things with CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH.
- This commit uses the HINTS feature to get desired behavior in
only one find command call.
FindCurses.cmake is now almost exactly reverted back to the state when
CURSES_LIBRARY and CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH where set for compatibility but not
in the cache. It is important that CURSES_CURSES_LIBRARY and
CURSES_NCURSES_LIBRARY really contain the path to these files.
Later on CURSES_LIBRARY is set to the one of the two which will be
used as curses library. This is now done in the cache, without FORCE.
So preloading the cache still seems to work (at least what I tested).

on NetBSD where there are separate curses and ncurses libraries, and where
the curses library is found, which doesn't work for ccmake while the
existing ncurses library would work.
With this change it should be possible to test whether the found curses lib
provides ncurses functionality.

FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(), so cmake modules can specify their own
better failure messages. If the default is ok use "DEFAULT_MSG".
Do this also for FindBoost.cmake (#5349)
