Brad King 9ffb35386f VS: Select and save a VS 2017 instance persistently

Visual Studio 2017 supports multiple instances installed on a single
machine.  We use the Visual Studio Installer tool to enumerate instances
and select one.  Once we select an instance for a given build tree, save
the result in `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` so we can re-configure the tree
with the same instance on future re-runs of CMake.

Fixes: #17268

 generator-instance
 ------------------
 * A :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable was introduced
   to hold the selected instance of the generator's corresponding
   native tools if multiple are available.  This is used by the
   :generator:`Visual Studio 15 2017` generator to hold the
   selected instance of Visual Studio persistently.
