Description
The hotspot source code doesn't display the correct MSVC++ version when
compiled by the following versions of VS2017:
MSVC++ 14.11 _MSC_VER == 1911 (Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3)
MSVC++ 14.14 _MSC_VER == 1914 (Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7)
MSVC++ 14.15 _MSC_VER == 1915 (Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8)

For ex., if the JDK is compiled with VS2017 15.7, it returns "unknown MSVC++: 1914" when run with -Xinternalversion.
Comments
Fix Request (8u) Backport to 8u requested because it is a prerequisite to JDK-8235243 that is a part of 8u271-oracle. Patch applies cleanly after paths re-shuffling, exported 8u-dev commit with original attribution: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~akasko/jdk8u/8211714/8211714_8u.patch Testing: checked that it builds correctly on Windows (with vs2010 and vs2017) and on Linux.
