file(GENERATE): Add policy CMP0070 to define relative path behavior
Previously `file(GENERATE)` did not define any behavior for relative paths given to the `OUTPUT` or `INPUT` arguments. Define behavior consistent with CMake conventions and add a policy to provide compatibility for projects that relied on the old accidental behavior. Fixes: #16786
