VS: Add an environment variable for the Windows 10 kits directory
Define a `CMAKE_WINDOWS_KITS_10_DIR` environment variable to allow
users to tell CMake about a custom Windows 10 SDK directory. We
choose to make this an environment variable rather than a CMake
variable or cache entry because:
* Using a custom directory also requires custom external MSBuild
configuration. Therefore users are already configuring a
custom environment.
* The custom directory must be set consistently in all parts of
a build including nested projects. An environment variable
avoids requiring users to thread the setting into nested builds.
Fixes: #16743
