Summary:                    Variable CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS is not documented
Description: 
The CMake docs document the variables CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS_{DEBUG, MINSIZEREL,
RELEASE, RELWITHDEBINFO}. However, CMAKE_<LANG>_FLAGS is not documented, even
though it's available (and useful). This should be changed.

Patch with proposal for the docs:
