Summary:                    Add CMake Policy to drop automatic source extension
search
Description: 
CMake code like

  add_library(foo bar)

will search automatically for "bar.c" and other extensions on "bar".  This
historical remnant leads to confusion when the behavior triggers accidentally. 
We should add a policy to disable the behavior completely.


Additional Information: 
Issue http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=13186 is an example of confusing
accidental source extension handling.
