Andreas Mohr 07d5e4b871 Documentation: Clarify some command descriptions
- file(WRITE): add configure_file() decoupling hint
- function(): definitely mention PARENT_SCOPE
- include_directories(): mention possible results of SYSTEM setting
- macro(): mention scope specifics of function()
- message(): improve SEND_ERROR / FATAL_ERROR docs, since people said it's not obvious

"arg1 arg2 arg3 (...). Commands listed after function, but before "
"the matching endfunction, are not invoked until the function "
"is invoked. When it is invoked, the commands recorded in the "
"function are first modified by replacing formal parameters (${arg1}) "
"with the arguments passed, and then invoked as normal commands. In "
"addition to referencing the formal parameters you can reference "
"the variable ARGC which will be set to the number of arguments "
"passed into the function as well as ARGV0 ARGV1 ARGV2 ... which "
"will have the actual values of the arguments passed in. This "
"facilitates creating functions with optional arguments. Additionally "
"ARGV holds the list of all arguments given to the function and ARGN "
"holds the list of arguments past the last expected argument."

"A function opens a new scope: see set(var PARENT_SCOPE) for details."

"policies inside functions."
