- Rename VC15 -> VC14.10, VC17 -> VC14.30.
The projects directory that holds the pre-generated Visual Studio
project files uses VC<ver> to indicate the MSVC version. At some point
support for Visual Studio 2017 (Visual Studio version 15 which uses MSVC
14.10) was added as VC15. Visual Studio 2022 (Visual Studio version 17
which uses MSVC 14.30) project files were recently added and followed
that same format using VC17.
There is no such MSVC version (yet) as VC15 or VC17.
For VS 2017 for example, the name we use is correct as either VS17,
VS2017, VC14.10. I opted for the latter since we use VC for earlier
versions (eg VC10, VC12, etc).

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8447
- Remove Visual Studio project files for VC6, VC7, VC7.1, VC8 and VC9.
Those versions are too old to be maintained any longer.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8442
The productname from Microsoft is "Schannel", but in infof/failf
reporting we use "schannel". This removes different versions.

As these files don't need to contain references to the source files,
although typically do, added basic files which only include three
filters and don't require the project file generator to be modified.
These files allow the source code to be viewed in the Solution Explorer
in versions of Visual Studio from 2010 onwards in the same manner as
previous versions did rather than one large view of files.
Advise that WinSSL in versions <= XP will not be able to connect to
servers that no longer support the legacy handshakes and algorithms used
by those versions, and to use an alternate backend like OpenSSL instead.

Added a more thorough version of the VC8 project files that exist in
the "vs" folder with the intention to add support for other versions of
Visual Studio. These files support side-by-side compilation, 32-bit and
64-bit builds as well as support for some of the third-party libraries
curl uses.
