VS: Implement CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM for VS >= 8
For VS generator names that do not specify the platform name, read CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to get it. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case covering use of the x64 platform when the test generator is a Visual Studio generator whose name does not specify a platform.
