Brad King 482a3bf3f0 Help: Document explicitly that policy OLD behavior is deprecated
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in
response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself.
Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating
that the OLD behavior is deprecated.  Also mention this in the
cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a
policy to OLD.

CMP0006
-------
Installing MACOSX_BUNDLE targets requires a BUNDLE DESTINATION.
This policy determines whether the install(TARGETS) command must be
given a BUNDLE DESTINATION when asked to install a target with the
MACOSX_BUNDLE property set. CMake 2.4 and below did not distinguish
application bundles from normal executables when installing targets.
CMake 2.6 provides a BUNDLE option to the install(TARGETS) command
that specifies rules specific to application bundles on the Mac.
Projects should use this option when installing a target with the
MACOSX_BUNDLE property set.
The OLD behavior for this policy is to fall back to the RUNTIME
DESTINATION if a BUNDLE DESTINATION is not given. The NEW behavior
for this policy is to produce an error if a bundle target is installed
without a BUNDLE DESTINATION.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0. CMake version
|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
