Robert Maynard d192918586 Modules: Do not implicitly add new functions via old Check Modules
The conversion of Check<Lang>CompilerFlag, SourceCompiles, and
SourceRuns over to the new functions has the possibility of breaking
projects that had functions with those existing names.

To reduce the possibility of collisions we now have all the
legacy code call functions that start with `cmake_`, and users
will need to explicitly include the new modules to get the
non-prefixed versions

CheckSourceCompiles
----------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.19
Check if given source compiles and links into an executable.
.. command:: check_source_compiles
.. code-block:: cmake
check_source_compiles(<lang> <code> <resultVar>
[FAIL_REGEX <regex1> [<regex2>...]]
[SRC_EXT <extension>])
Check that the source supplied in ``<code>`` can be compiled as a source
file for the requested language and linked as an executable (so it must
contain at least a ``main()`` function). The result will be stored in the
internal cache variable specified by ``<resultVar>``, with a boolean true
value for success and boolean false for failure. If ``FAIL_REGEX`` is
provided, then failure is determined by checking if anything in the output
matches any of the specified regular expressions.
By default, the test source file will be given a file extension that matches
the requested language. The ``SRC_EXT`` option can be used to override this
with ``.<extension>`` instead.
The underlying check is performed by the :command:`try_compile` command. The
compile and link commands can be influenced by setting any of the following
variables prior to calling ``check_source_compiles()``:
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``
Additional flags to pass to the compiler. Note that the contents of
:variable:`CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS <CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS>` and its associated
configuration-specific variable are automatically added to the compiler
command before the contents of ``CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS``.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS``
A :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of compiler definitions of the form
``-DFOO`` or ``-DFOO=bar``. A definition for the name specified by
``<resultVar>`` will also be added automatically.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_INCLUDES``
A :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of header search paths to pass to
the compiler. These will be the only header search paths used by
``try_compile()``, i.e. the contents of the :prop_dir:`INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES`
directory property will be ignored.
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LINK_OPTIONS``
A :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of options to add to the link
command (see :command:`try_compile` for further details).
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES``
A :ref:`;-list <CMake Language Lists>` of libraries to add to the link
command. These can be the name of system libraries or they can be
:ref:`Imported Targets <Imported Targets>` (see :command:`try_compile` for
further details).
``CMAKE_REQUIRED_QUIET``
If this variable evaluates to a boolean true value, all status messages
associated with the check will be suppressed.
The check is only performed once, with the result cached in the variable
named by ``<resultVar>``. Every subsequent CMake run will re-use this cached
value rather than performing the check again, even if the ``<code>`` changes.
In order to force the check to be re-evaluated, the variable named by
``<resultVar>`` must be manually removed from the cache.
