BUG: Correct signature of inherited method

The msvccompiler module is made in the same mold as the msvc9compiler
module; saving the two environment variables around the call to
initialize. However, the signaure in the msvccompiler module's version
of the MSVCCompiler class, there is no plat_name argument to the method.

Since this is not used anyway but just passed along, it can simply be
removed.

This bug can be exposed even if you are not using the Intel Fortran
compiler, because the class is loaded in an attempt to probe for all
compilers, if the correct compiler is not found yet.
