find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT search path group for CMake 3.9
Disable the feature added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*: Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and remove documentation added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03). Unfortunately the name `<pkg>_ROOT` may already be set by projects for their own incompatible purposes. Disable the behavior change for now to fix the regression for CMake 3.9. We can restore it later with a policy. In order to keep the implementation and tests working, add an undocumented variable we can use in the tests to enable the behavior before the policy is introduced. Fixes: #17144

+3.9.1
+-----
+
+* The ``find_`` command ``PACKAGE_ROOT`` search path group added by
+ CMake 3.9.0 has been removed for the 3.9 series due to regressions
+ caused by new use of ``<PackageName>_ROOT`` variables. The behavior
+ may be re-introduced in the future in a more-compatible way.
