Help: Factor out cmake-generator-expressions manual page

Generator expressions are supported in many places and are a distinct
concept worthy of their own manual page.  The old builtin documentation
was previously represented by preprocessor macros to generate it into
each place that supports them.  Factor out the duplicate content into a
dedicated cmake-generator-expressions manual page and reference it from
each original location.

-Arguments after COMMAND may use "generator expressions" with the
-syntax "$<...>".  Generator expressions are evaluated during build
-system generation to produce information specific to each build
-configuration.  Valid expressions are:
-
-::
-
-  $<0:...>                  = empty string (ignores "...")
-  $<1:...>                  = content of "..."
-  $<CONFIG:cfg>             = '1' if config is "cfg", else '0'
-  $<CONFIGURATION>          = configuration name
-  $<BOOL:...>               = '1' if the '...' is true, else '0'
-  $<STREQUAL:a,b>           = '1' if a is STREQUAL b, else '0'
-  $<ANGLE-R>                = A literal '>'. Used to compare strings which contain a '>' for example.
-  $<COMMA>                  = A literal ','. Used to compare strings which contain a ',' for example.
-  $<SEMICOLON>              = A literal ';'. Used to prevent list expansion on an argument with ';'.
-  $<JOIN:list,...>          = joins the list with the content of "..."
-  $<TARGET_NAME:...>        = Marks ... as being the name of a target.  This is required if exporting targets to multiple dependent export sets.  The '...' must be a literal name of a target- it may not contain generator expressions.
-  $<INSTALL_INTERFACE:...>  = content of "..." when the property is exported using install(EXPORT), and empty otherwise.
-  $<BUILD_INTERFACE:...>    = content of "..." when the property is exported using export(), or when the target is used by another target in the same buildsystem. Expands to the empty string otherwise.
-  $<PLATFORM_ID>            = The CMake-id of the platform   $<PLATFORM_ID:comp>       = '1' if the The CMake-id of the platform matches comp, otherwise '0'.
-  $<C_COMPILER_ID>          = The CMake-id of the C compiler used.
-  $<C_COMPILER_ID:comp>     = '1' if the CMake-id of the C compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
-  $<CXX_COMPILER_ID>        = The CMake-id of the CXX compiler used.
-  $<CXX_COMPILER_ID:comp>   = '1' if the CMake-id of the CXX compiler matches comp, otherwise '0'.
-  $<VERSION_GREATER:v1,v2>  = '1' if v1 is a version greater than v2, else '0'.
-  $<VERSION_LESS:v1,v2>     = '1' if v1 is a version less than v2, else '0'.
-  $<VERSION_EQUAL:v1,v2>    = '1' if v1 is the same version as v2, else '0'.
-  $<C_COMPILER_VERSION>     = The version of the C compiler used.
-  $<C_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the C compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
-  $<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION>   = The version of the CXX compiler used.
-  $<CXX_COMPILER_VERSION:ver> = '1' if the version of the CXX compiler matches ver, otherwise '0'.
-  $<TARGET_FILE:tgt>        = main file (.exe, .so.1.2, .a)
-  $<TARGET_LINKER_FILE:tgt> = file used to link (.a, .lib, .so)
-  $<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt> = file with soname (.so.3)

-where "tgt" is the name of a target.  Target file expressions produce
-a full path, but _DIR and _NAME versions can produce the directory and
-file name components:
-
-::
-
-  $<TARGET_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_FILE_NAME:tgt>
-  $<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_LINKER_FILE_NAME:tgt>
-  $<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_DIR:tgt>/$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE_NAME:tgt>
-
-
-
-::
-
-  $<TARGET_PROPERTY:tgt,prop>   = The value of the property prop on the target tgt.
+Arguments after COMMAND may use "generator expressions" with the syntax
+"$<...>".  See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for
+available expressions.
 
 Note that tgt is not added as a dependency of the target this
 expression is evaluated on.
