Subject: [PATCH] VS10: Avoid creating .rule files next to outputs (#13141)

Hide custom command .rule files inside the CMakeFiles directory.  Ensure
a short, deterministic, and unique name by using a hash of the directory
path containing the output file.  Preserve the file name so the entry in
the IDE is human-readable.  Clarify the comment that explains why the
rule file must be created on disk.
