Help: Document CLEAN_NO_CUSTOM as for Makefile generators only (#15856)
The property cannot be implemented on other generators because the corresponding native build tools (VS IDE, Xcode, Ninja) all implement their own `clean` operations that affect all outputs. Document this limitation.

CLEAN_NO_CUSTOM
---------------
-Should the output of custom commands be left.
-
-If this is true then the outputs of custom commands for this directory
-will not be removed during the "make clean" stage.
+Set to true to tell :ref:`Makefile Generators` not to remove the outputs of
+custom commands for this directory during the ``make clean`` operation.
+This is ignored on other generators because it is not possible to implement.
