The new PackageRoot search path group allows the PackageName_ROOT cmake
and environment variables to be used as search prefixes for all find_*
commands called from within a find module
Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

The functions for adding the various different types of paths have been
factored out into a new class, cmSearchPath. It is to be used as a helper
container class for the various find_* commands.
Prior to this commit, the set of search paths to traverse for find commands
was incrementally constructed. This change allows each group of paths, i.e.
CMakeVariablePaths, UserHintsPaths, SystemEnvironmentPaths, etc. to be
constructed and manipulated independently, and then all combined togethor.
Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
When more than one value is given to the NAMES option this command by
default will consider one name at a time and search every directory for
it. Add a NAMES_PER_DIR option to tell this command to consider one
directory at a time and search for all names in it.
Delay computation of the command documentation until it is needed.
It is wasteful to do it in the constructor on every call.

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
- Hints are searched after user locations but before system locations
- The HINTS option should have paths provided by system introspection
- The PATHS option should have paths that are hard-coded guesses
- CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK and CMAKE_FIND_APPBUNDLE are supposed to specify
whether to find frameworks/appbundles FIRST, LAST, ONLY, or NEVER.
- Previously this affected only the placement of CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH
and CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH with respect to the other path specifiers.
- Now it behaves as documented. The entire search path is inspected for
each kind of program, library, or header before trying the next kind.
- Additionally the ONLY mode is now honored for headers so that users
do not end up with a library in framework and a header from elsewhere.
- Add each part of the search order in a separate method.
- Collect added paths in an ivar in cmFindCommon.
- Move user path storage up to cmFindCommon and share
between cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand.
- Expand user path registry values up in cmFindCommon
- Enables 32-/64-bit registry view for find_package
- Disables registry expansion for paths not specified
with the PATHS argument, which is not expected.
- Use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH among other means
to locate package configuration files.
- Create cmFindCommon as base for cmFindBase and cmFindPackageCommand
- Move common functionality up to cmFindCommon
- Improve documentation of FIND_* commands.
- Fix FIND_* commands to not add framework/app paths in wrong place.
CMAKE_FIND_PREFIX_PATH is both an environment variable and a cmake variable,
which is a list of base directories where FIND_PATH, FIND_FILE, FIND_PROGRAM
and FIND_LIBRARY will search in the respective subdirectories
