Policy CMP0026 deprecated the LOCATION property, and we have long
provided a $<TARGET_FILE:...> generator expression.  However, if
a project tries to use $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,LOCATION> we should
at least not crash.

The compatibility implementation of the LOCATION property uses
cmGlobalGenerator::CreateGenerationObjects to create the structures
needed to evaluate the property before generation starts.  The
implementation assumed that accessing the property could only be done
during configuration (via the typical get_property command use case).
The $<TARGET_PROPERTY:...,LOCATION> genex causes the LOCATION property
to be accessed during generation.  Calling CreateGenerationObjects
during generation blows away all the objects currently being used for
generation and is not safe.  Add a condition to call it only when
configuration is not finished.

If e.g. libc.a is passed before any objects the linker raises the follwing
warning: cannot resolve archive libc.a to a compatible library, as no
input files have been encountered
In the end the library is skipped and missing symbols occur.

98eafa9b Help: Organize and revise 3.6 release notes
c5df7483 Help: Consolidate 3.6 release notes

Add section headers similar to the 3.5 release notes and move each
individual bullet into an appropriate section.  Revise a few bullets.

Move all development release notes into a new version-specific document:

 tail -q -n +3 Help/release/dev/* > Help/release/3.6.rst
 git rm -- Help/release/dev/*

except the sample topic:

 git checkout HEAD -- Help/release/dev/0-sample-topic.rst

Reference the new document from the release notes index document.
Add a title and intro sentence to the new document by hand.

d4e58dd9 CTestCustom: Suppress scanbuild warning on unsigned left shift
154fa2c5 CTestCustom: Suppress warnings about rand() on OpenBSD
e4a361bb CTestCustom: Suppress Windows manifest unrecognized element warning

The Clang scanbuild tool warns:

    Utilities/cmliblzma/liblzma/simple/x86.c:106:23: warning:
    The result of the '<<' expression is undefined
      src = dest ^ ((1u << (32 - i * 8)) - 1);
                     ~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AFAIK overflow of a left shift on an unsigned type is well-defined.

We first suppressed this in commit v3.1.0-rc1~647^2 (CTestCustom:
Suppress warnings about rand() and srand() on OpenBSD, 2014-04-12).
Add another variant of the warning wording.

Our `cmake.version.manifest` file uses a "compatibility" element for
Windows 10 support.  Older MS tools warn about it being unknown, so
suppress the warning.

cffe0ed7 OS X: Drop warning about SDK and deployment target version mismatch

Run clang-tidy's readability-redundant-string-cstr checker.
Ignore findings in kwsys.

Use clang-tidy's performance-unnecessary-copy-initialization checker.
After applying the fix-its (which turns the copies into const&), revise
the changes and see whether the copies can be removed entirely by using
the original instead.

Use clang-tidy's performance-unnecessary-value-param checker to find
value parameter declarations of expensive to copy types that are not
modified inside the function.  Ignore findings in kwsys.
After applying the fix-its, manually change `const T&` to `T const&`.
