Add deprecation warnings for policies CMP0071 and below

The OLD behaviors of all policies are deprecated, but only by
documentation.  Add an explicit deprecation diagnostic for policies
introduced in CMake 3.10 and below to encourage projects to port away
from setting policies to OLD.

+* An explicit deprecation diagnostic was added for policy ``CMP0070``
+  and policy ``CMP0071`` (``CMP0069`` and below were already deprecated).
+  The :manual:`cmake-policies(7)` manual explains that the OLD behaviors
+  of all policies are deprecated and that projects should port to the
+  NEW behaviors.
