Help: State behavior for add_custom_command(TARGET) without event type

Craig Scott requested to merge craig.scott/cmake:doc-add_custom_command-TARGET into master

Projects should always have specified one of PRE_BUILD, PRE_LINK or POST_BUILD, and the documentation has always shown that one must be given. But the argument parsing logic was such that if none was given, POST_BUILD would be used and no error or warning would be raised. Projects may be relying on this behavior, so document it as formally supported, but not recommended.

Fixes: #23488 (closed)
