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.

Make `CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION` fallback variable precedence

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

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).

Add an explicit `<Natvis>` element in VS project files for `*.natvis`
files.  These enable custom debug visualizers for project-specific
types.

Fixes #16043.

Document these variables.

Change our convention for setting these variables from:

    set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT "...")

to

    string(APPEND CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT " ...")

so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.

For executables with ENABLE_EXPORTS set, export all symbols when
instructed to do so by WINDOWS_EXPORT_ALL_SYMBOLS.

Document these variables.

Change our convention for setting these variables from:

    set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT "...")

to

    string(APPEND CMAKE_C_FLAGS_INIT " ...")

so that any value previously set by a toolchain file will be used.

Automate the conversion with:

    sed -i 's/set *(\(CMAKE_\(C\|CXX\|Fortran\|RC\|ASM\|${[^}]\+}\)_FLAGS\(_[^_]\+\)\?_INIT \+"\)/string(APPEND \1 /' \
      Modules/Compiler/*.cmake Modules/Platform/*.cmake

and follow up with some manual fixes (e.g. to cases that already
meant to append).  Also revert the automated changes to contexts
that are not protected from running multiple times.

In the `try_compile` source file signature we propagate the caller's
value of `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS` into the test project.  Extend this to
propagate `CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG>` too instead of always using the
default value in the test project.  This will be useful, for example, to
allow the MSVC runtime library to be changed (e.g. `-MDd` => `-MTd`).
However, some projects may currently depend on this not being done,
so we need to activate the behavior using a policy.

This change was originally made by commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile:
Honor CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> changes, 2016-04-11) but without the
policy and so had to be reverted during the 3.6 release candidate cycle.

Fixes #16174.

Revert commit v3.6.0-rc1~160^2 (try_compile: Honor
CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_<CONFIG> changes, 2016-04-11).  The behavior it
introduced can break projects that depend on the lack of such behavior.
We will have to introduce a policy or other mechanism to enable the
behavior in a compatible way.  Simply revert it for now.

See issue #16174.

This property allow to specify a specific Visual Studio tool for a
source file overriding the default tool behavior.  For example, a

advantage of being able to teach CMake to process new file types without
code modifications.

Even in relatively small projects using `--trace` (and `--trace-expand`)
may produce a lot of output.  When developing a custom module usually
one is interested in output of only a few particular modules.

Add a `--trace-source=<file>` option to enable tracing only a subset of
source files.  The final output would be only from requested modules,
ignoring anything else not matched to given filename(s).
