Help: Add pre-test to prose for gtest_discover_tests()
The prose previously gave the impression that discovery was always done as a post-build operation, but later in the documentation the DISCOVERY_MODE option is explained where pre-test can also be specified. Update the earlier prose to mention both methods equally.

``gtest_discover_tests()`` sets up a post-build command on the test executable
|
||||
that generates the list of tests by parsing the output from running the test
|
||||
with the ``--gtest_list_tests`` argument. Compared to the source parsing
|
||||
approach of :command:`gtest_add_tests`, this ensures that the full list of
|
||||
tests, including instantiations of parameterized tests, is obtained. Since
|
||||
test discovery occurs at build time, it is not necessary to re-run CMake when
|
||||
the list of tests changes.
|
||||
However, it requires that :prop_tgt:`CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR` is properly set
|
||||
in order to function in a cross-compiling environment.
