Brad King aab11bcab4 Help: Change version 3.0.0 -> 3.0 in policy docs
Starting with 3.0 we will use only two components for the feature level,
and policies are only ever introduced with a bump to the feature level
version.

-------
:prop_tgt:`MACOSX_RPATH` is enabled by default.
CMake 2.8.12 and newer has support for using ``@rpath`` in a target's install
name. This was enabled by setting the target property
:prop_tgt:`MACOSX_RPATH`. The ``@rpath`` in an install name is a more
flexible and powerful mechanism than ``@executable_path`` or ``@loader_path``
for locating shared libraries.
CMake 3.0 and later prefer this property to be ON by default. Projects
wanting ``@rpath`` in a target's install name may remove any setting of
the :prop_tgt:`INSTALL_NAME_DIR` and :variable:`CMAKE_INSTALL_NAME_DIR`
variables.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.0. 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.
