CMake 3.0 transitions to a reStructuredText-based documentation system. All the "cmake --help-*" options now do basic processing of the documents and print them. Now "ctest --help-variable-list" lists all the variables in the cmake-variables(7) manual just like "cmake --help-variable-list" does instead of producing an internal error.

A separate issue, raised in 0010392, is that CTest variables are not actually covered in the documentation.
