By specifying CODEGEN as an argument to add_custom_command the
custom command will be added to a codegen build target.
The intent is to provide a convenient way for users to get
their generated files without having to build the whole project.
This can be helpful for code analysis tools which can be useful
for IDEs and CI.
This patch improves the wording of the documentation of the
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL directory property, and makes the
add_subdirectory()- and fetchcontent-documentation refer to it.

Projects may be generating a list of files or directories to pass as arguments
to file(TOUCH), file(TOUCH_NOCREATE), or file(MAKE_DIRECTORY). Those
lists might end up being empty, so rather than requiring at least one item,
allow an empty list.

Most generators now support this character after escaping and quoting
cleanups over time. Disallow it only on generators that do support it.
Fixes: #25604
Moved documentation of file(GET_RUNTIME_DEPENDENCIES ...) from
the 'Reading' section to a separate section at the bottom of
the page. Because it is a very long text, and because this
signature is quite different from all the others in the
'Reading' section.
Re-organize the section to explicitly describe target-specific
commands, build properties, and usage requirement properties.
Add builtin transitive properties that have been created since
the document was first written.

The note regarding commands superseded by install() somehow wound
up nested under the install(EXPORT) signature, when it has nothing
to do with install(EXPORT). Move it to the top level, immediately
before the Examples section.

Specifically, the various CMAKE_PROJECT_...INCLUDE... variables can
now take a list of things, and those things can be module names
too, not just file names.
Under job server integration, added by commit 80fe56c481 (ctest: Add
support for running under a make job server on POSIX systems,
2023-11-15, v3.29.0-rc1~324^2), use a very high default so that
parallelism is effectively limited only by available job server tokens.
Otherwise, choose a default limit based on the number of processors.
Also allow passing `0` to specify unbounded parallelism.
