Brad King aab11bcab4 Help: Change version 3.0.0 -> 3.0 in policy docs
Starting with 3.0 we will use only two components for the feature level,
and policies are only ever introduced with a bump to the feature level
version.

CMP0040
-------
The target in the TARGET signature of add_custom_command() must exist.
CMake 2.8.12 and lower silently ignored a custom command created with
the TARGET signature of :command:`add_custom_command`
if the target is unknown.
The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore custom commands
for unknown targets. The NEW behavior for this policy is to report an error
if the target referenced in :command:`add_custom_command` is unknown.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0. 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.
