So unset == OLD (internally WARN == OLD)?

If no warning will ever appear we do not need a policy at all.
We can simply define the behavior.  With either old or new
default behavior though we still need an explicit option as
a property.  Perhaps we should say that if

 (CMAKE_)LINK_DEPENDS_SHARED_LIBRARIES

is set to true or false then it is honored.  If not then the
current minimum required version of CMake determines the value.
