VS: Implement CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM for VS >= 8
For VS generator names that do not specify the platform name, read CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM to get it. Extend the RunCMake.GeneratorPlatform test with a case covering use of the x64 platform when the test generator is a Visual Studio generator whose name does not specify a platform.

Generates Visual Studio 8 2005 project files.
-It is possible to append a space followed by the platform name to
-create project files for a specific target platform. E.g. "Visual
-Studio 8 2005 Win64" will create project files for the x64 processor.
+The :variable:`CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM` variable may be set
+to specify a target platform name.
+
+For compatibility with CMake versions prior to 3.1, one may specify
+a target platform name optionally at the end of this generator name:
+
+``Visual Studio 8 2005 Win64``
+ Specify target platform ``x64``.
+
+``Visual Studio 8 2005 <WinCE-SDK>``
+ Specify target platform matching a Windows CE SDK name.
