Swift: Add abstraction for compilation mode
Add a `CMAKE_Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` variable and corresponding `Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` target property to control the compilation mode. Select among `wholemodule`, `singlefile`, and `incremental`. Add policy CMP0157 to remove the default `-wmo` flags in favor of the abstract setting. Issue: #25366

+CMP0157
+-------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.29
+
+Swift compilation mode is selected by an abstraction.
+
+The Swift compiler can compile modules in different modes. The desired build
+mode depends whether the developer is iterating and wants to incrementally make
+changes, or if they are building a release for distribution and want more
+optimizations applied to the resulting binary.
+
+CMake versions 3.26 through 3.28 build Swift binaries with whole-module
+optimizations enabled when configured in a non-debug build type.
+For CMake versions earlier than 3.26, the developer needs to specify
+the necessary flag manually for the :ref:`Ninja Generators`, and cannot
+not specify whole-module optimizations to the :generator:`Xcode` generator.
+
+CMake versions 3.29 and above prefer to set the compilation mode using
+the :prop_tgt:`Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` target property, which can be
+initialized by the :variable:`CMAKE_Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` variable.
+
+This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been updated.
+The policy setting takes effect as of the first :command:`project` or
+:command:`enable_language` command that enables the ``Swift`` language.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Once the policy has taken effect at the top of a project, that choice
+ must be used throughout the tree. In projects that have nested projects
+ in subdirectories, be sure to convert everything together.
+
+The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy builds all Swift targets in
+``wholemodule`` mode for non-debug configurations. :ref:`Ninja Generators`
+prepend the ``-wmo`` flag to the default set of Swift flags.
+The :generator:`Xcode` generator sets the ``SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE``
+attribute to ``wholemodule`` in the generated Xcode project file.
+
+The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to apply the compilation mode specified
+in the :prop_tgt:`Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` target property, initialized as each
+target is created by the :variable:`CMAKE_Swift_COMPILATION_MODE` variable.
+
+This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.29. Use the
+:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
+Unlike many policies, CMake version |release| does *not* warn when this policy
+is not set and simply uses ``OLD`` behavior.
