[CMake] MSVC version string

[Guillaume Dumont]

You can also emulate a map like so:

set(boost_toolset_1800 "msvc-12.0")
set(boost_toolset_1900 "msvc-14.0")
set(boost_toolset ${boost_toolset_${MSVC_VERSION}})

It's probably best to add some check on MSVC_VERSION since the set
statement will silently set the boost_toolset variable to nothing if your
"map" is missing the entry for a particular MSVC_VERSION.
