try_compile: Simplify generator platform and toolset propagation

We don't need to save the `CMAKE_GENERATOR_{PLATFORM,TOOLSET}` values
from the cache back into the `cmake` instance.  They were used only to
propagate the settings into `cmake` instances for `try_compile`, but we
already have their values in the `cmMakefile`'s variables anyway.  In
fact those variables are the ones we actually give to the generators.
