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.

CMP0016
-------
target_link_libraries() reports error if its only argument is not a target.
In CMake 2.8.2 and lower the target_link_libraries() command silently
ignored if it was called with only one argument, and this argument
wasn't a valid target. In CMake 2.8.3 and above it reports an error
in this case.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 2.8.3. 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.
