Makefiles Generators: use compiler for dependencies generation
Each source compilation generates a dependencies file. These dependencies files are consolidated in one file per target. This consolidation is done as part of command 'cmake -E cmake_depends` launched before evaluation of makefile dependency graph. The consolidation uses the same approach as `CMake` dependencies management. Fixes: #21321

+--------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 3.20
+
+For the :ref:`Makefile Generators`, source dependencies are now, for a
+selection of compilers, generated by the compiler itself. By defining this
+variable with value ``FALSE``, you can restore the legacy behavior (i.e. using
+``CMake`` for dependencies discovery).
