Brad King eb35d8884b find_package: Use PackageName_ROOT variables as search prefixes
This feature was originally added by commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2~2 (find_*:
Add a new PackageRoot search path group, 2017-05-03) and documented by
commit v3.9.0-rc1~71^2 (find_*: Add docs for PackageRoot search path
group, 2017-05-03).  However, we had to disable the feature and remove
the documentation in commit v3.9.1~2^2 (find_*: Disable the PACKAGE_ROOT
search path group for CMake 3.9, 2017-08-08) due to breaking projects
that used `PackageName_ROOT` variables themselves.

Add policy `CMP0074` to restore the `PackageName_ROOT` variable behavior
in a compatible way.  Also revise the stack of root paths to store the
paths themselves rather than the package names.  This way the policy can
be considered at the `find_package` call site instead of individual
`find_` calls inside a find module.

When more than one value is given to the ``NAMES`` option this command by
default will consider one name at a time and search every directory
for it. The ``NAMES_PER_DIR`` option tells this command to consider one
directory at a time and search for all names in it.
Each library name given to the ``NAMES`` option is first considered
as a library file name and then considered with platform-specific
prefixes (e.g. ``lib``) and suffixes (e.g. ``.so``). Therefore one
may specify library file names such as ``libfoo.a`` directly.
This can be used to locate static libraries on UNIX-like systems.
If the library found is a framework, then ``<VAR>`` will be set to the full
path to the framework ``<fullPath>/A.framework``. When a full path to a
framework is used as a library, CMake will use a ``-framework A``, and a
``-F<fullPath>`` to link the framework to the target.
If the :variable:`CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX` variable is set all
search paths will be tested as normal, with the suffix appended, and with
all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with
``lib${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX}/``. This variable overrides
the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS`,
:prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS`,
and :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS` global properties.
If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB32_PATHS` global property is set
all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``32/`` appended, and
with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib32/``. This property is
automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at
least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command
is enabled.
If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIBX32_PATHS` global property is set
all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``x32/`` appended, and
with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``libx32/``. This property is
automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at
least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command
is enabled.
If the :prop_gbl:`FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS` global property is set
all search paths will be tested as normal, with ``64/`` appended, and
with all matches of ``lib/`` replaced with ``lib64/``. This property is
automatically set for the platforms that are known to need it if at
least one of the languages supported by the :command:`project` command
is enabled.
