MuseScore

The msvc_build.bat batch file that builds MuseScore under Windows is currently hard-coded to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2017. Developers wanting to use Visual Studio 2019 have to hand-edit the file to get it to work.

The batch file should support both versions of Visual Studio without any need for hand editing, and it should also automatically detect the highest supported version installed and use it.
