Brad King 57e48f16f2 VS: Add Visual Studio 16 2019 generator
Add this generator *without* support for specifying the target
architecture in the generator name.  cmake-gui will be taught
to provide a field for this, and command-line builds can use -A.

Also, teach this generator to select a default target architecture
based on the host architecture.

Fixes: #18689
