Help: Clarify add_custom_command DEPENDS conversion to file paths

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:doc-add_custom_command-depends into master

In !4148 (merged) we updated the documentation to describe the behavior introduced by that MR. However, the behavior was removed again by !4195 (merged) without updating the documentation.

Update the documentation again to describe the behavior as of the latter MR. Spell out the steps that cmLocalGenerator::GetRealDependency and cmTargetTraceDependencies::IsUtility use to add file-level and target-level dependencies.

Backport: release
