Brad King 4ac75fdfe6 Prefer CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM over CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL (#14548 )

Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively.  Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.

Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around.  Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules.  Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.

 CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL
 ----------------
 This variable exists only for backwards compatibility.
 It contains the same value as :variable:`CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM`.
 Use that variable instead.
