Drop compatibility with CMake < 2.4
Drop all behavior activated by setting CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to a value lower than 2.4, and generate an error when projects or the user attempt to do so. In the error suggest using a CMake 2.8.x release. Teach cmake_minimum_required to warn about projects that do not require at least CMake 2.4. They are not supported by CMake >= 3.0. Replace the documentation of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY with a reference to policy CMP0001.

CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY
-----------------------------
-Version of cmake required to build project
-
-From the point of view of backwards compatibility, this specifies what
-version of CMake should be supported. By default this value is the
-version number of CMake that you are running. You can set this to an
-older version of CMake to support deprecated commands of CMake in
-projects that were written to use older versions of CMake. This can
-be set by the user or set at the beginning of a CMakeLists file.
+Deprecated. See CMake Policy :policy:`CMP0001` documentation.
