Help: Clarify cmake-developer(7) find module naming conventions

Arcturus requested to merge arcturus140/cmake:cleanupdocumentation into master

it's not very clear what x's or y's can mean. For the general use case, Xxx is a prefix for the module so i wouldn't reuse it when referring to libraries, components, versions or tools. This is an attempt to simplify the language.

There are still some weird formulations:

  • Make sure at most one of these is ever true.: One of whose? What does this even mean 😆 ?
  • Xxx_WRAP_Yy: i am not familiar with this. Is this referring to the use of pkg_check_modules and pkg_search_modules?
  • It may or may not be required to use Xxx.: does this really make sense? If Xxx is not found the package is rejected so i would not expect Yy to be provided
