contrib/buildsystems: add a backend for modern Visual Studio versions

Based on the previous patch series to be able to compile Git using
Visual C++ from the command-line, this patch offers to generate project
definitions for Visual Studio, so that Git can be developed in a modern
IDE.

Based on the generator for Visual Studio versions <= 2008 (which used
.sln/.vcproj files), this patch copy-edits the generator of the .vcproj
files to a new generator that produces .vcxproj files ready for Visual
Studio 2010 and later (or MSBuild).

As the vcpkg system (which is used to build Git's dependencies) cannot
run in parallel (it does not lock, wreaking havoc with files being
accessed and written at the same time, letting the vcpkg processes
stumble over each others' toes), we make libgit the root of the project
dependency tree and initialize the vcpkg system in this project's
PreBuildEvent.
