Help: Check*SourceCompiles, Check*CompilerFlag refer to new command
The CheckSourceCompiles and CheckCompilerFlag would generally be preferred general
command syntax, but users may not realize they exist, so help point them there.

CheckCXXCompilerFlag
------------------------
Check whether the CXX compiler supports a given flag.
.. command:: check_cxx_compiler_flag
.. code-block:: cmake
check_cxx_compiler_flag(<flag> <var>)
Check that the ``<flag>`` is accepted by the compiler without
a diagnostic. Stores the result in an internal cache entry
named ``<var>``.
A positive result from this check indicates only that the compiler did not
issue a diagnostic message when given the flag. Whether the flag has any
effect or even a specific one is beyond the scope of this module.
See also :command:`check_compiler_flag` for a more general command syntax.
.. note::
Since the :command:`try_compile` command forwards flags from variables
like :variable:`CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>`, unknown flags
in such variables may cause a false negative for this check.
