Summary:                    Update/clarify documentation of TRY_COMPILE and
CheckC(XX)SourceCompiles
Description: 
The names of the macros TRY_COMPILE and CheckC(XX)SourceCompiles suggest that
only compilation is performed. However, under the hood a CMakeLists.txt file is
generated containing an ADD_EXECUTABLE() statement. Hence, linking is also
performed. This should be documented more clearly.
