VS15: Add Visual Studio 15 generator
Call the generator "Visual Studio 15" without any year because the preview version of VS 15 does not provide a year in the product name. Copy cmGlobalVisualStudio14Generator to cmGlobalVisualStudio15Generator and update version numbers accordingly. Add the VS15 enumeration value. Note that we do not need to add a MSVC15 variable or v150 toolset because Visual Studio 15 comes with an updated version of the v140 toolset and remains ABI-compatible. Teach tests VSExternalInclude, RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform, and RunCMake.GeneratorToolset to treat VS 15 as they do VS 10-14. Closes: #16143
