Sebastian Schuberth 497cad7c88 cmake: Teach --build to reject multiple --target options
Previously we did not clearly document that `--target` is only supported
to be specified once.  Even worse, specifying it multiple times would
silently ignore any previously specified targets and only build the last
target.

Update the documentation to specify this.  Update the implementation to
reject multiple `--target` options to prevent user errors.

This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything.  To add a test:

1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.

2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
   test directory name ``<Test>``.

3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::

    include(RunCMake)
    run_cmake(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_cmake(SubTestN)

   where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
   corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.

   One may also add calls of the form::

    run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)

   to fully customize the test case command-line.

   Alternatively, if the test is to cover running ``ctest -S`` then use::

    include(RunCTest)
    run_ctest(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_ctest(SubTestN)

   and create ``test.cmake.in``, ``CTestConfig.cmake.in``, and
   ``CMakeLists.txt.in`` files to be configured for each case.

4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::

    cmake_minimum_required(...)
    project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
    include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)

   where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal.  A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
   will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
   sub-test.

5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
   above containing the actual test code.  Optionally create files
   containing expected test results:

   ``<SubTest>-result.txt``
    Process result expected if not "0"
   ``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
    Regex matching expected stdout content
   ``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
    Regex matching expected stderr content, if not "^$"
   ``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
    Custom result check.

   Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
   test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
   The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables

   ``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
    Top of test source tree
   ``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
    Top of test binary tree

   and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
