Precompile headers: Treat headers as relative to current source directory

Teach `target_precompile_headers` to treat relative paths the
same way as `target_sources`.

-Header files will be double quoted if they are not specified with double
-quotes or angle brackets.
+The list of header files is used to generate a header file named
+``cmake_pch.h|xx`` which is used to generate the precompiled header file
+(``.pch``, ``.gch``, ``.pchi``) artifact.  The ``cmake_pch.h|xx`` header
+file will be force included (``-include`` for GCC, ``/FI`` for MSVC) to
+all source files, so sources do not need to have ``#include "pch.h"``.
+
+Header file names specified with angle brackets (e.g. ``<unordered_map>``) or
+explicit double quotes (escaped for the :manual:`cmake-language(7)`,
+e.g. ``[["other_header.h"]]``) will be treated as is, and include directories
+must be available for the compiler to find them.  Other header file names
+(e.g. ``project_header.h``) are interpreted as being relative to the current
+source directory (e.g. :variable:`CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR`) and will be
+included by absolute path.
