Allow building Chrome with local VC++ 2017 install
This updates the toolchain scripts enough so that it is possible to
build Chrome with VC++ 2017 if DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0 and
GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2017, followed by gclient runhooks.
There are still some local patches needed to make it work, and
treat_warnings_as_errors = false and is_component_build = false in
args.gn may be needed initially, but my local builds are working.
The toolchain code should be updated eventually to use COM to locate
the VC++ install location, instead of the hard-coded path which is being
used as a temporary measure in this change.
