Add a handful of helper roles that allow many more command-line option
references to be written without explicit targets. Specifically, what
used to be written ':option:`--foo[=bar] <program --foo>` can now be
written ':program-option:`--foo`'. This allows many such references to
be significantly shortened.
For now, supported programs are 'cmake', 'cpack'. 'ctest',
'cmake--build' and 'cmake--install', which should cover most cases, but
more can be trivially added. Additionally, this does not make a
concerted effort to replace all existing uses, as it is intended mainly
for use in future updates.
Re-implement the build_command() command to use "cmake --build" instead
of generating a native build tool invocation directly. This command
will internally invoke the proper native build tool.
This avoids requiring cmGlobalGenerator::GenerateBuildCommand to produce
a string so that it can be later refactored to produce a vector with no
quoting or escaping. It will also allow us to later teach CMake to
delay the decision about which build tool to invoke until after the
project build system is generated to disk. For example, on Visual
Studio 10 and above the preferred command-line tool is MSBuild, but we
need to fall back to devenv if the .sln has Intel Fortran .vfproj files.
