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.

source_group
------------
Define a grouping for source files in IDE project generation.
There are two different signatures to create source groups.
.. code-block:: cmake
source_group(<name> [FILES <src>...] [REGULAR_EXPRESSION <regex>])
source_group(TREE <root> [PREFIX <prefix>] [FILES <src>...])
Defines a group into which sources will be placed in project files.
This is intended to set up file tabs in Visual Studio.
The options are:
``TREE``
.. versionadded:: 3.8
CMake will automatically detect, from ``<src>`` files paths, source groups
it needs to create, to keep structure of source groups analogically to the
actual files and directories structure in the project. Paths of ``<src>``
files will be cut to be relative to ``<root>``.
``PREFIX``
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Source group and files located directly in ``<root>`` path, will be placed
in ``<prefix>`` source groups.
``FILES``
Any source file specified explicitly will be placed in group
``<name>``. Relative paths are interpreted with respect to the
current source directory.
``REGULAR_EXPRESSION``
Any source file whose name matches the regular expression will
be placed in group ``<name>``.
If a source file matches multiple groups, the *last* group that
explicitly lists the file with ``FILES`` will be favored, if any.
If no group explicitly lists the file, the *last* group whose
regular expression matches the file will be favored.
The ``<name>`` of the group and ``<prefix>`` argument may contain forward
slashes or backslashes to specify subgroups. Backslashes need to be escaped
appropriately:
.. code-block:: cmake
source_group(base/subdir ...)
source_group(outer\\inner ...)
source_group(TREE <root> PREFIX sources\\inc ...)
.. versionadded:: 3.18
Allow using forward slashes (``/``) to specify subgroups.
For backwards compatibility, the short-hand signature
.. code-block:: cmake
source_group(<name> <regex>)
is equivalent to
.. code-block:: cmake
source_group(<name> REGULAR_EXPRESSION <regex>)
