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
