Help: Factor out COMPILE_DEFINITIONS disclaimer duplication
The COMPILE_DEFINITIONS escaping disclaimer was represented in builtin documentation using a preprocessor macro. Factor the duplicate content out into a separate .txt file and include it in each document with the reStructuredText include directive.

-Disclaimer: Most native build tools have poor support for escaping
-certain values. CMake has work-arounds for many cases but some values
-may just not be possible to pass correctly. If a value does not seem
-to be escaped correctly, do not attempt to work-around the problem by
-adding escape sequences to the value. Your work-around may break in a
-future version of CMake that has improved escape support. Instead
-consider defining the macro in a (configured) header file. Then
-report the limitation. Known limitations include:
-
-::
-
- # - broken almost everywhere
- ; - broken in VS IDE 7.0 and Borland Makefiles
- , - broken in VS IDE
- % - broken in some cases in NMake
- & | - broken in some cases on MinGW
- ^ < > \" - broken in most Make tools on Windows
-
-CMake does not reject these values outright because they do work in
-some cases. Use with caution.
