Brad King 482a3bf3f0 Help: Document explicitly that policy OLD behavior is deprecated
The most likely documentation page a project author will read in
response to a policy warning is the page for the policy itself.
Add to every policy documentation page a note explicitly stating
that the OLD behavior is deprecated.  Also mention this in the
cmake_policy() command documentation that explains how to set a
policy to OLD.

CMP0007
-------
list command no longer ignores empty elements.
This policy determines whether the list command will ignore empty
elements in the list. CMake 2.4 and below list commands ignored all
empty elements in the list. For example, a;b;;c would have length 3
and not 4. The OLD behavior for this policy is to ignore empty list
elements. The NEW behavior for this policy is to correctly count
empty elements in a list.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.6.0. CMake version
|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses OLD behavior. Use
the cmake_policy command to set it to OLD or NEW explicitly.
