We had a couple builds in the past few days where AppVeyor failed to start a build, giving us an empty log and a "Build job has failed to start, but backup cloud is not configured." message.

Seems like the issue only appeared on their GCP builders, so I opened a PR (#61972) to switch to their Hyper-V ones, as they recommended.

Switch AppVeyor to the standard Visual Studio 2017 image

We were previously using the preview image but there doesn't seem to be a reason why, as the commit that originally added it didn't replace the standard image, but just used the preview from the start.

AppVeyor Support recommended switching to the standard image [in this support thread](https://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/24057-build-job-has-failed-to-start-but-backup-cloud-is-not-configured#comment_47365011).

AppVeyor said the issue might start to happen again.
