[Win] Use a bundled vswhere.exe instead of downloading by update-vswhere.py

We shouldn't download vswhere.exe anymore.

> vswhere is included with the installer as of Visual Studio 2017
> version 15.2 and later, and can be found at the following
> location: %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vswhere.exe.

It seems using Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3. Umm, why?

I'm not sure that we shouldn't have a download as a fallback.

[Stephan Szabo]

Actually, if we're doing this, maybe it'd be easier to switch to just finding the msbuild location at the same time since we're not using any of the other information from vswhere.

We shouldn’t keep update-vswhere without knowing the reason. I’ll restore it if we’ll have the reason we need to download.

Have vswhere find msbuild itself

Per earlier comment and separate comments on the 2019 patch, maybe something like this to just have vswhere do the lifting for finding msbuild in the non-VSINSTALLDIR case.

[Stephan Szabo]

I missed that was what was tried in one of the patches that was obsolete.

[Stephan Szabo]

Since it was asked elsewhere, from my standpoint the steps after this would be to get some version of the 2019 patch done so that we can find the msbuild and to let cmake pick the generator for wincairo. And then try to work out how to handle playstation port's version requirements (whether that is to force vcvars + update the script to set the platform, force vcvars and users to update PLATFORM or to find 2017). Both of which can be followups.
