Help: Expand discussion of GENERATED / BYPRODUCTS

- Mention the Makefile Generators' `make clean` removal in the
  BYPRODUCTS section of add_custom_command and add_custom_target
- Expand the GENERATED property docs' description of which files will
  be marked with the property, and of what it implies (including
  `make clean` removal)
