Call the generator "Visual Studio 15" without any year because the
preview version of VS 15 does not provide a year in the product name.

Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio15Generator
and update version numbers accordingly.  Add the VS15 enumeration value.
Note that we do not need to add a MSVC15 variable or v150 toolset
because Visual Studio 15 comes with an updated version of the v140
toolset and remains ABI-compatible.

Teach tests VSExternalInclude, RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform, and
RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 15 as they do VS 10-14.

Closes: #16143

Make `CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION` fallback variable precedence

breaking change, but the new behavior is more consistent with
expectation anyway.

The Linux distro we've been using for this is so old that it limits our
ability to import newer third-party software.  Until a new machine can
be configured to provide this binary we can simply drop it.  Users will
still be able to build from source or use a distro-provided version.

Add `cmake -E capabilities` to report on generators, cmake version and
possibly other static capabilities of cmake.

Closes: #15462

With the Makefile generator one can use `cd $subdir; make install` to build and
install targets associated with a given subdirectory.  This is not possible to
do with the Ninja generator since there is only one `build.ninja` file at the
top of the build tree.  However, we can approximate it by allowing one to run
`ninja $subdir/install` at the top of the tree to build the targets in the
corresponding subdirectory and install them.

This also makes sense for `test`, `package`, and other GLOBAL_TARGET targets.
It was already done for `all` by commit v3.6.0-rc1~240^2~2 (Ninja: Add
`$subdir/all` targets, 2016-03-11).

Protect our `$0` reference in the shell as `"$0"`.  Otherwise it works

Prior to this fix, any installer using the option added by commit
v2.8.9~234^2 (Added CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL,

Replace use of cmsys::auto_ptr with a CM_AUTO_PTR macro that maps to
our own implementation adopted from the KWSys auto_ptr implementation.
Later we may be able to map CM_AUTO_PTR to std::auto_ptr on compilers
that do not warn about it.

Automate the client site conversions:

    git grep -l auto_ptr -- Source/ | grep -v Source/kwsys/ | xargs sed -i \
      's|cmsys::auto_ptr|CM_AUTO_PTR|;s|cmsys/auto_ptr.hxx|cm_auto_ptr.hxx|'
