Help: Revise and format policy CMP0025 and CMP0047 docs
Add inline reST markup as appropriate. Word CMP0047 docs more like those of CMP0025. State explicitly that the policies must be set before the project or enable_language command calls.

-Compiler id for Apple Clang is now AppleClang.
+Compiler id for Apple Clang is now ``AppleClang``.
-CMake >= 3.0 recognize that Apple Clang is a different compiler
+CMake 3.0 and above recognize that Apple Clang is a different compiler
than upstream Clang and that they have different version numbers.
-CMake now prefers to present this to projects by setting
-CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID to "AppleClang" instead of "Clang". However,
-existing projects may assume the compiler id for Apple Clang is just
-"Clang" as it was in CMake < 3.0. Therefore this policy determines
-for Apple Clang which compiler id to report in
-CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER_ID after <LANG> is enabled by the project() or
-enable_language() command.
