Allow the Package Registry to be disabled (#14849)
When a project is packaged for redistribution the local package registries should not be updated or consulted. They are for developers. Add variables to disable use of package registries globally: * CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the export(PACKAGE) command * CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the User Package Registry in all the find_package calls. * CMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_NO_SYSTEM_PACKAGE_REGISTRY that disables the System Package Registry in all the find_package calls. Update documentation and unit tests.

+CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY
+--------------------------------
+
+Disable the :command:`export(PACKAGE)` command.
+
+In some cases, for example for packaging and for system wide
+installations, it is not desirable to write the user package registry.
+If the :variable:`CMAKE_EXPORT_NO_PACKAGE_REGISTRY` variable is enabled,
+the :command:`export(PACKAGE)` command will do nothing.
+
+See also :ref:`Disabling the Package Registry`.
