[cmake-developers] Regenerating yacc/lex files

[Devin Nakamura]

I was wondering why the option to regenerate the lexer/parser sources
was removed. I tracked it down to this pull request which deals with
clang tidy warnings in the code
(https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/merge_requests/775). I was
wondering if there was a reason behind the removal of the option / if
anyone would object if it was added back in.

It was removed by commit 8927e913f780fa62c540063b8a5cfe0dcbfdd288
to simplify refactoring and moving of files into Source/LexerParser.

It's been replaced by two scripts:

Utilities/Scripts/regenerate-lexers.bash
Utilities/Scripts/regenerate-parsers.bash

These can be run by hand after modifying the lexer or parser inputs.
