Drop builtin command documentation
Drop all GetTerseDocumentation and GetFullDocumentation methods from commands. The command documentation is now in Help/command/*.rst files.

- "The if command was written very early in CMake's history, predating "
- "the ${} variable evaluation syntax, and for convenience evaluates "
- "variables named by its arguments as shown in the above signatures. "
- "Note that normal variable evaluation with ${} applies before the "
- "if command even receives the arguments. "
- "Therefore code like\n"
- " set(var1 OFF)\n"
- " set(var2 \"var1\")\n"
- " if(${var2})\n"
- "appears to the if command as\n"
- " if(var1)\n"
- "and is evaluated according to the if(<variable>) case "
- "documented above. "
- "The result is OFF which is false. "
- "However, if we remove the ${} from the example then the command sees\n"
- " if(var2)\n"
- "which is true because var2 is defined to \"var1\" which is not "
- "a false constant."
