The -T parameter to CMake may now be specified through cmake-gui via a
new text field in the first-time configure wizard (below the generator
chooser).
The generator factories specify whether or not they support toolsets.
This information is propagated to the Qt code and used to determine if
the selected generator should also display the optional Toolset widgets.
Teach the VS 2015 generator to produce a WindowsTargetPlatformVersion
value. Use the CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION to specify the version and if not
set choose a default based on available SDKs. Activate this behavior
when targeting Windows 10.

Determine the Desktop SDK for Windows Phone and Windows Store from the
generator instead of the version of the targeted app. This allows to
build a Windows Phone 8.1 app on VS 2015 for example.
* Re-order VS generators from newest to oldest.
* Show how to specify a VS generator with a target platform
* Increase the option output indentation to avoid extra wrapping
with longer generator names.
Now that we know the year component of this VS version we
can add it to the generator name. For convenience, map
the name without the year to the name with the year.
Ask the global generator during generation instead of trying
to store it up front. Later the global generator may not know
the platform name when it is creating the local generator.
Remove the general infrastructure for these additional platform
definitions and hard-code the only two special cases that used
it. They are only for historical reasons so no new such cases
should be added.
Call the generator "Visual Studio 14" without any year because this
version of VS does not provide a year in the product name.
Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio12Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator
and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS14 enumeration value.
Teach the platform module Windows-MSVC to set MSVC14 and document the
variable. Teach module InstallRequiredSystemLibraries to look for the VS
14 runtime libraries.
Teach tests CheckCompilerRelatedVariables, VSExternalInclude, and
RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 14 as they do VS 10, 11, and 12.
