James Johnston 3bb707f0a1 Help: Improve formatting of variable documentation
Improve formatting, primarily by:

* Adding links to relevant commands, properties, generators, and so on.
* Converting code, symbols, paths, and so on to fixed-width fonts.
* Hard wrapping lines to 80 characters or less.

CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN
----------------------------------------
The external toolchain for cross-compiling, if supported.
Some compiler toolchains do not ship their own auxilliary utilities such as
archivers and linkers. The compiler driver may support a command-line argument
to specify the location of such tools.
``CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN`` may be set to a path to a path to
the external toolchain and will be passed to the compiler driver if supported.
This variable may only be set in a toolchain file specified by
the :variable:`CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE` variable.
