Niels Lohmann bb5449c8fc Silence the CMP0169 deprecation in cmake_fetch_content, fix stale guards
tests/cmake_fetch_content/project calls the single-argument
FetchContent_Populate(json) after FetchContent_Declare(), which CMake
3.30 deprecated as CMP0169. Since the project declares
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.11...3.14), the policy stays unset,
so every configure with a current CMake prints the deprecation
warning. The test is kept on purpose: it is the only coverage of the
FetchContent_Populate + add_subdirectory pattern for CMake 3.11-3.13
users, which the docs still describe as supported. Explicitly set
CMP0169 to OLD, with a comment explaining why.

Also fix two stale version guards:
- tests/cmake_fetch_content/CMakeLists.txt guarded the test with
  VERSION_GREATER "3.11.0", which is dead now that tests/CMakeLists.txt
  requires CMake 3.13.
- tests/cmake_fetch_content2/CMakeLists.txt guarded with
  VERSION_GREATER "3.14.0", which skips exactly 3.14.0, the first
  version with FetchContent_MakeAvailable. Change it to
  VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL "3.14".

Verified locally: `ctest -R cmake_fetch_content` passes with CMake
4.1, and the CMP0169 deprecation warning that appeared before this
change is gone.

Closes #5714 item 5.
