VS: Add policy to build custom commands concurrently
In commit 33c15ae2b9 (VS: Build custom commands concurrently when possible, 2023-01-19, v3.26.0-rc1~56^2) we added `BuildInParallel` to custom commands in `.vcxproj` files, but that had to be reverted by commit abb1c12162 (VS: Revert "Build custom commands concurrently when possible", 2023-03-07, v3.26.0-rc6~3^2) because some projects may have custom commands that accidentally rely on serial execution in MSBuild. Add a policy to use `BuildInParallel` for custom commands in projects that have been updated to set the policy to `NEW`. Fixes: #18405

+
+:ref:`Visual Studio Generators` build custom commands in parallel.
+
+Visual Studio 15.8 (2017) and newer support building custom commands in
+parallel. CMake 3.27 and above prefer to enable this behavior by adding
+a ``BuildInParallel`` setting to custom commands in ``.vcxproj`` files.
+This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated
+to expect this, e.g., because their custom commands were accidentally
+relying on serial execution by MSBuild.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to not add ``BuildInParallel``.
+The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to add ``BuildInParallel`` for
+VS 15.8 and newer.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.27. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
+Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn
+when this policy is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior.
