Brad King ad3c2c0b03 Help: Normalize and consolidate standard policy advice paragraph
Every policy's documentation has a paragraph on what version of CMake
introduced it, how to set the policy, and whether CMake warns if the
policy is not set.  The wording of this paragraph has diverged across
policies over time.  Factor the paragraph out into a standard advice
document included by every policy.

.. versionadded:: 3.13
The :command:`target_sources` command converts relative paths to absolute.
In CMake 3.13 and above, the :command:`target_sources` command now converts
relative source file paths to absolute paths in the following cases:
* Source files are added to the target's :prop_tgt:`INTERFACE_SOURCES`
property.
* The target's :prop_tgt:`SOURCE_DIR` property differs from
:variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`.
A path that begins with a generator expression is always left unmodified.
This policy provides compatibility with projects that have not been updated
to expect this behavior. The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to leave
all relative source file paths unmodified. The ``NEW`` behavior of this
policy is to convert relative paths to absolute according to above rules.
