Tyler Yankee c707fde0f2 Help: Move general FILE_SET info to cmake-buildsystem(7) ...

File sets have evolved to be more ubiquitous throughout a CMake build,
outside the scope of simply the target_sources command. Move general
information to the `cmake-buildsystem(7)` manual and keep only
reference information specific to the syntax of target_sources in its
command page. Sprinkle some more cross-references to the new location.

Fixes: #27900
