Summary0013190: Add CMake Policy to drop automatic source extension search
DescriptionCMake 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.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationIssue 0013186 is an example of confusing accidental source extension handling.
