EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH is the old executable location variable.

The target property RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY supercedes this variable
for a target if it is set. Executable targets are otherwise placed in
this directory.

Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool.  Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience.  Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.

Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices.  It also references version control
history for more precise information.  Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.

Replace KWSys per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online
information available from "https://cmake.org/licensing#kwsys".

Run the `filter-notices.bash` script to perform the replacements mechanically.
Manually fix up the shebang line in one file.

Many Windows filesystem calls (but not all) have a MAX_PATH limitation
of 260 characters (drive letter, colon, backslash, 256 char path, null).
This is especially problematic for interacting with large highly nested
build trees (the boost C++ libraries, for example). This limitation can
be overcome by using extended length paths instead.  By converting
local filesystem and network paths to extended length paths before
passing them to the underlying APIs the maximum path length can be as
large as 32767 characters. The new ConvertToWindowsExtendedPath
function will convert "E:/a.txt" to "\\?\E:\a.txt" and "\\Foo\a.txt" to
"\\?\UNC\Foo\a.txt".

This also adds a hidden CMake option, KWSYS_TEST_SYSTEMTOOLS_LONG_PATHS,
which, when set to TRUE, will enable the extended length path tests.
This is off by default since if something does go awry, the resulting
leftovers could be difficult to delete manually.

The full path for files used by SystemTools tests were preconfigured
in a generated header file by CMake variables.  This begins to get
unwieldy and clutters the CMake files once more variables and files
get added.  In preperation for more file and directory tests being
added, the preconfigured variables are now just the source and binary
directories for which all tests can base themselves off of.

This converts the KWSys license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License.  We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked.  We also update the KWSys copyright to
cover the full development time range.

BUG: Trying to get testDynamicLoader to work on Solaris and SunOS, where current directory is not lookup when doing dlopen

ENH: avoid the use of GET_TARGET_PROPERTY by testing the CMake executable instead of the test executable

COMP: Added KWSYS_CXX_HAS_CSTDDEF try-compile to KWSys to provide kwsys/cstddef header (to get size_t for hash_fun.hxx).

ENH: Added wrappers around the std stream headers to make them look like ansi streams on all platforms.
