Subject: VS: Add support for generator expressions to VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE

Generator expressions in target property VS_CONFIGURATION_TYPE might be used to
set the ConfigurationType to Utility for certain configurations to not build
the target while still linking to the target in other configurations.

Fixes: #19613
