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.
We never implemented them for VS 11 (2012), 12 (2013), or 14 (2015).
For VS 10 (2010) the reload macro does not work correctly when run from
inside a build launched through the IDE because stopping the build kills
the CMake that is driving the reload. Fortunately VS >= 10 know how to
reload the whole solution anyway.
CMake requires both the Desktop SDK and the correct platform SDK
(Windows Phone or Windows Store) to be installed when targeting the
Windows mobile platforms. Verify that the right platform components are
installed and give a more detailed error message when something is
wrong.
Teach the VS >= 10 generators to recognize these system names and select
the appropriate default toolset for the system version. Report an error
when the version is not known to be supported by VS.

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.
Rename the Visual Studio >= 10 generators to indicate the version year:
Visual Studio 10 => Visual Studio 10 2010
Visual Studio 11 => Visual Studio 11 2012
Visual Studio 12 => Visual Stduio 12 2013
Report the names with the year to the list of available generators so
that the cmake-gui drop-down shows the years. When selecting a
generator from the "-G" option or from an existing CMAKE_GENERATOR cache
entry, recognize names without the years for compatibility and map them
to the names with years.
Update the generator names in the cmake-generators.7 manual.
Since we do not need the information about the target architecture
we can use the PlatformName only to specify the this information.
This also removes setting of the MSVC_*_ARCHITECTURE_ID variable
which is not required, because this variable gets set by the
compiler detection code in CMAKE_DETERMINE_COMPILER_ID_CHECK().
Solution folders are supported as read-only in the VS11 Express
Edition, so do not prohibit their use just because we detect the
express edition (as we did in the VS10 generator).

Since the parent commit the local generator Version ivar may be
compared for ordering. Convert comparisons:
"==VS10" becomes ">=VS10"
"!=VS10" becomes "< VS10"
to support an explicit enumeration value for VS11 with no change
in behavior.
