[CMake] Why does CMake 3.9.0 open VS2017 when targeting 2013 after installing 2017... sigh.

Mon Oct 1 21:18:29 EDT 2018

The Visual C++ team sheds a little more light on this:

Glad they listened to the community and worked with NVIDIA to make this
work.

We’ve been holding off migrating from VS2015 to VS2017 because of the pain
points with CUDA so I’m glad it’s (hopefully) behind us.
