[issue23970] Update distutils.msvccompiler for VC14

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Is there a way for those users to specify the version that they want? I can flow that through from somewhere, and honestly the compiler arguments have not changed in a long time. The problem is detecting an installation.

I have formalized the DISTUTILS_USE_SDK variable, so setting up the env with that will be more reliable than previously.

Also, I'm interested in what other patches you might apply. This is the last time I really want to touch this, so it's the time to get things like that added.
