To handle safely the values used by CMake variables and properties,
introduce the class cmProp as a replacement from the simple pointer
to std::string instance.
cmJoin() is often used with std::string ranges. Generic implementation
uses std::ostringstream which is not optimal. With strings we can avoid
operator<<() and make much faster implementation. Additional 'initial'
argument is useful for cmStringCommand.cxx:HandleAppendCommand().
This adds the following functions to cmStringAlgorithms:
- `cmIsInternallyOn`
- `cmIsNOTFOUND`
- `cmIsOn`
- `cmIsOff`
The implementations were copied from the equivalent functions in cmSystemTools.
This adds the following functions to cmStringAlgorithms:
- `cmStrToLong`: moved from `cmSystemTools::StringToLong`
- `cmStrToULong`: moved from `cmSystemTools::StringToULong`
Overloads of the given functions for `std::string` are added as well.
This adds the following functions to `cmStringAlgorithms`:
- `cmIsSpace`
- `cmTrimWhitespace` (moved from `cmSystemTools::TrimWhitespace`)
- `cmEscapeQuotes` (moved from `cmSystemTools::EscapeQuotes`)
- `cmTokenize` (moved from `cmSystemTools::tokenize` and adapted to
accept `cm::string_view`)
