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.

mark_as_advanced
----------------
Mark cmake cached variables as advanced.
.. code-block:: cmake
mark_as_advanced([CLEAR|FORCE] <var1> ...)
Sets the advanced/non-advanced state of the named
cached variables.
An advanced variable will not be displayed in any
of the cmake GUIs unless the ``show advanced`` option is on.
In script mode, the advanced/non-advanced state has no effect.
If the keyword ``CLEAR`` is given
then advanced variables are changed back to unadvanced.
If the keyword ``FORCE`` is given
then the variables are made advanced.
If neither ``FORCE`` nor ``CLEAR`` is specified,
new values will be marked as advanced, but if a
variable already has an advanced/non-advanced state,
it will not be changed.
.. versionadded:: 3.17
Variables passed to this command which are not already in the cache
are ignored. See policy :policy:`CMP0102`.
