Currently, cc-rs always returns the latest version of the msvc tools it can find, including preview versions.
For scenarios (such as we have at Microsoft) where we want to ensure we are building with a specific version of the tools, this change makes it possible to request a specific version of the msvc tools even if a developer has other versions on their machine.
