Brad King 195d47e213 VS: Allow CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE to specify portable instance
Previously the `CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` value was used only to filter
the instances reported by the Visual Studio Installer tool.  If the
specified install location is not known to the VS Installer, but the
user provided a `version=` field, check for the installation directly
on disk.

Fixes: #21639, #22197

* The :ref:`Visual Studio Generators` for VS 2017 and above learned to
use portable instances of Visual Studio not known to the VS installer.
See the :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_INSTANCE` variable.
