Brad King ad3c2c0b03 Help: Normalize and consolidate standard policy advice paragraph
Every policy's documentation has a paragraph on what version of CMake
introduced it, how to set the policy, and whether CMake warns if the
policy is not set.  The wording of this paragraph has diverged across
policies over time.  Factor the paragraph out into a standard advice
document included by every policy.

.. versionadded:: 3.17
:command:`target_compile_options` now always honors the ``BEFORE`` keyword.
In CMake 3.16 and below, the :command:`target_compile_options` command
ignores the ``BEFORE`` keyword when inserting items into the
:prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS` target property (``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC``
items). CMake 3.17 and later honors the ``BEFORE`` keyword in all cases.
This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated
to expect the new behavior.
The behavior of inserting items into the :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`
target property (``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items) is not affected by this
policy. The ``BEFORE`` keyword has always been honored when adding items to
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_COMPILE_OPTIONS`.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to not honor the ``BEFORE`` keyword
when inserting into the :prop_tgt:`COMPILE_OPTIONS` property.
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to honor the ``BEFORE`` keyword in
all cases.
