1. [cli] Add --global-property for -D replacement …

   -D option has been deprecated as it was previously used to:
   
   * Pass "system properties"
   * Pass additional properties
   
   This was confusing because we already have --additional-properties and
   because Java System Properties are passed as -D before program
   arguments.
   
   Confusion around the -D option had existed for some time, but when we
   introduced the thread-safe GlobalSettings to avoid overwriting Java
   System Properties, we created a hard break from Java System Properties
   in the generator. This also disconnected the previous "system
   properties" from accepting additional properties.
   
   Once these newly deprecated methods are removed, we will have a clear
   separation of concerns between:
   
   * Java System Properties
   * Global generator properties (used as workflow context)
   * Additional properties (used as generator options)
   
   This commit marks multiple places for cleanup in 5.0. These will be
   breaking changes, and lower effort to break in 5.0 with deprecation
   warnings now rather than adding sibling properties throughout the code
   and potentially introducing logic errors.
