Modify the implementation of policy CMP0199 to only remove the oddball
configuration map matching of `$<CONFIG>` in `NEW` mode, restoring the
old behavior of matching BOTH the consumer's configuration and the
selected configuration of the imported target. It turns out that users
are more dependent on the former than the latter, and while matching
more than one thing is still dodgy, we will likely need to introduce a
new generator expression to match the selected configuration of the
imported target.
Meanwhile, `$<CONFIG>` on targets imported from CPS still only matches
the selected configuration of the imported target, which is the behavior
specified by CPS. However, this can only happen for `$<CONFIG>`
expressions that were generated internally during import.
Update documentation and test cases accordingly.

Document link flags suppressed by commit 99d09ec45a (VS: Suppress
MSBuild default link flags not specified by project or user, 2025-06-17,
v4.1.0-rc1~6^2). Leave out `-subsystem` because that's being reverted
by another commit.
Issue: #27004

Clarify the release note added by commit 8ac826a5f2 (GenEx: Fix
evaluation of $<CONFIG> on imported targets, 2025-07-30,
v4.2.0-rc1~439^2) to more precisely describe the behavior change.
See: https://discourse.cmake.org/t/15251/2
* FindKDE4: Added note about KDE4_FOUND result variable (it is set by
the upstream FindKDE4Internal module, and now also synced in the docs
and code for consistency).
For the sake of completeness with other find modules, also the following
deprecated find modules are synced as they already provided these
variables:
* FindDart: Documented the Dart_FOUND result variable.
* FindUnixCommands: Updated documentation (documented UnixCommands_FOUND
result variable, and listed cache variables used by this module).
Issue: #27242
This adds the following new arrays, which together capture all direct
dependencies and interface dependencies of a target:
- linkLibraries
- interfaceLinkLibraries
- compileDependencies
- interfaceCompileDependencies
- objectDependencies
- orderDependencies
Fixes: #21995, #25213
When targeting the MSVC ABI, define `_MBCS` by default if the project
does not define `_SBCS` or `_UNICODE`. Visual Studio has long defined
one of the three character set macros automatically. For consistency,
define it when compiling for the MSVC ABI with other generators.
Add policy CMP0204 for compatibility.
Fixes: #27275
