msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution

The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.

If we pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, Git can be built entirely
within Visual Studio, and the test scripts can be run in a regular Git
for Windows (e.g. the Portable Git flavor, which does not include a full
GCC toolchain and therefore weighs only about a tenth of Git for
Windows' SDK).

So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.

To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash after building the solution in Visual Studio.

Note: for this build target, we do not actually need to initialize the
`vcpkg` system, so we don't.

================================================================
Alternatively, run `make vcxproj` and then load the generated `git.sln` in
Visual Studio. The initial build will install the vcpkg system and build the
dependencies automatically. This will take a while.
Instead of generating the `git.sln` file yourself (which requires a full Git
for Windows SDK), you may want to consider fetching the `vs/master` branch of
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git instead (which is updated automatically
via CI running `make vcxproj`). The `vs/master` branch does not require a Git
for Windows to build, but you can run the test scripts in a regular Git Bash.
Note that `make vcxproj` will automatically add and commit the generated `.sln`
and `.vcxproj` files to the repo. This is necessary to allow building a
fully-testable Git in Visual Studio, where a regular Git Bash can be used to
run the test scripts (as opposed to a full Git for Windows SDK): a number of
build targets, such as Git commands implemented as Unix shell scripts (where
`@@SHELL_PATH@@` and other placeholders are interpolated) require a full-blown
Git for Windows SDK (which is about 10x the size of a regular Git for Windows
installation).
If your plan is to open a Pull Request with Git for Windows, it is a good idea
to drop this commit before submitting.
