Brad King d079e71c29 VS: Provide an option to use x64 host tools
Visual Studio provides toolchains that are themselves built for 32-bit
or 64-bit host architectures.  By default it uses the 32-bit tools, but
it can be told to prefer the 64-bit tools on 64-bit hosts.  Extend the
`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` specification to provide a way to request
use of the 64-bit host tools.

Visual Studio 12 2013
---------------------
Generates Visual Studio 12 (VS 2013) project files.
The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set
to specify a target platform name (architecture).
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:
``Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64``
Specify target platform ``x64``.
``Visual Studio 12 2013 ARM``
Specify target platform ``ARM``.
For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.0, one may specify this
generator using the name "Visual Studio 12" without the year component.
Toolset Selection
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``v120`` toolset that comes with Visual Studio 12 2013 is selected by
default. The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET` option may be set, perhaps
via the :manual:`cmake(1)` ``-T`` option, to specify another toolset.
