FindPython{Interp,Libs}: Update documentation
Even though these modules are removed with a policy, documentation can
still be improved a bit to help when upgrading CMake code.

Changes:
- Synced modules documentation with other similar find modules.
- Added examples section to hint how to rewrite code using the
  FindPython module.
- FindPythonLibs:
  - Deprecated variables moved to a separate section.
  - PythonLibs_FOUND variable used. The PYTHONLIBS_FOUND variable is
    also set to the same value since CMake 3.3.
- FindPythonInterp:
  - PythonInterp_FOUND variable used. The PYTHONINTERP_FOUND variable is
    also set to the same value since CMake 3.3.

FindPythonInterp
----------------
.. versionchanged:: 3.27
This module is available only if policy :policy:`CMP0148` is not set to ``NEW``.
.. deprecated:: 3.12
Use :module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2`, or :module:`FindPython`
instead.
This module finds the Python interpreter and determines the location of its
executable.
.. note::
When using both this and the :module:`FindPythonLibs` module, call
``find_package(PythonInterp)`` before ``find_package(PythonLibs)``. This
ensures that the detected interpreter version is used to guide the selection
of compatible libraries, resulting in a consistent ``PYTHON_LIBRARIES`` value.
.. note::
A call to ``find_package(PythonInterp ${V})`` for Python version ``V`` may
find a ``python`` executable with no version suffix. In this case no attempt
is made to avoid Python executables from other versions. Use
:module:`FindPython3`, :module:`FindPython2`, or :module:`FindPython` instead.
Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This module defines the following variables:
``PythonInterp_FOUND``
Boolean indicating whether the (requested version of) Python executable is
found. For backward compatibility, the ``PYTHONINTERP_FOUND`` variable is
also set to the same value.
``PYTHON_VERSION_STRING``
Python version found (e.g., ``2.5.2``).
``PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR``
Python major version found (e.g., ``2``).
``PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR``
Python minor version found (e.g., ``5``).
``PYTHON_VERSION_PATCH``
Python patch version found (e.g., ``2``).
Cache Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following cache variables may also be set:
``PYTHON_EXECUTABLE``
The path to the Python interpreter.
Hints
^^^^^
This module accepts the following variables before calling
``find_package(PythonInterp)``:
``Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS``
This variable can be used to specify a list of version numbers that should be
taken into account when searching for Python.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Finding the Python interpreter in earlier versions of CMake:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package(PythonInterp)
execute_process(COMMAND ${PYTHON_EXECUTABLE} --help)
Starting with CMake 3.12, the Python interpreter can be found using the
:module:`FindPython` module. The equivalent example using the modern approach
is:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package(Python)
execute_process(COMMAND ${Python_EXECUTABLE} --help)
