Nikita Nemkin c705279bae Help: Add .. versionadded directives to commands documentation
This change ony concerns directives that appear in the document body.

The guidelines for inserting version directives:

 * Baseline version is CMake 3.0, i.e. directives start at 3.1.
 * Always use `.. versionadded::` directive, avoid ad-hoc version
   references. Exception: policy pages.
 * For new command signatures, put `versionadded` on a separate line
   after the signature.
 * For a group of new signatures in a new document section,
   a single version note at the beginning of the section is sufficient.
 * For new options, put `versionadded` on a separate line before
   option description.
 * If all the option descriptions in the list are short one-liners,
   it's fine to put `versionadded` on the same line as the description.
 * If multiple option descriptions in close proximity would have
   the same ..versionadded directive, consider adding a single
   directive after the list, mentioning all added options.
 * For compact value lists and sub-option lists, put a single
  `versionadded` directive after the list mentioning all additions.
 * When a change is described in a single paragraph, put
   `versionadded` into that paragraph.
 * When only part of the paragraph has changed, separate the changed
   part if it doesn't break the flow. Otherwise, write a follow-up
   clarification paragraph and apply version directive to that.
 * When multiple version directives are close by, order earlier
   additions before later additions.
 * Indent related lists and code blocks to include them in the scope
   of `versionadded` directive.

target_link_options
-------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.13
Add options to the link step for an executable, shared library or module
library target.
.. code-block:: cmake
target_link_options(<target> [BEFORE]
<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items1...]
[<INTERFACE|PUBLIC|PRIVATE> [items2...] ...])
The named ``<target>`` must have been created by a command such as
:command:`add_executable` or :command:`add_library` and must not be an
:ref:`ALIAS target <Alias Targets>`.
This command can be used to add any link options, but alternative commands
exist to add libraries (:command:`target_link_libraries` or
:command:`link_libraries`). See documentation of the
:prop_dir:`directory <LINK_OPTIONS>` and
:prop_tgt:`target <LINK_OPTIONS>` ``LINK_OPTIONS`` properties.
.. note::
This command cannot be used to add options for static library targets,
since they do not use a linker. To add archiver or MSVC librarian flags,
see the :prop_tgt:`STATIC_LIBRARY_OPTIONS` target property.
If ``BEFORE`` is specified, the content will be prepended to the property
instead of being appended.
The ``INTERFACE``, ``PUBLIC`` and ``PRIVATE`` keywords are required to
specify the scope of the following arguments. ``PRIVATE`` and ``PUBLIC``
items will populate the :prop_tgt:`LINK_OPTIONS` property of
``<target>``. ``PUBLIC`` and ``INTERFACE`` items will populate the
:prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_LINK_OPTIONS` property of ``<target>``.
The following arguments specify link options. Repeated calls for the same
``<target>`` append items in the order called.
.. note::
:ref:`IMPORTED targets <Imported Targets>` only support ``INTERFACE`` items.
Arguments to ``target_link_options`` may use "generator expressions"
with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)`
manual for available expressions. See the :manual:`cmake-buildsystem(7)`
manual for more on defining buildsystem properties.
