Brad King eb35d8884b find_package: Use PackageName_ROOT variables as search prefixes
This feature was originally added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*:
Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and documented by
commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path
group, 2017-05-03).  However, we had to disable the feature and remove
the documentation in commit v3.9.1~2^2 (find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT
search path group for CMake 3.9, 2017-08-08) due to breaking projects
that used `PackageName_ROOT` variables themselves.

Add policy `CMP0074` to restore the `PackageName_ROOT` variable behavior
in a compatible way.  Also revise the stack of root paths to store the
paths themselves rather than the package names.  This way the policy can
be considered at the `find_package` call site instead of individual
`find_` calls inside a find module.

When searching for frameworks, if the file is specified as ``A/b.h``, then
the framework search will look for ``A.framework/Headers/b.h``. If that
is found the path will be set to the path to the framework. CMake
will convert this to the correct ``-F`` option to include the file.
