[CMake] How to specify VS2017 compilers when on VS2019

[J Decker]

can just specify the 2017 generator, 2019 will load an build it just fine.
If 2017 is still opening when you double-click a solution, change your
default handler for .sln files to 2019.

Again, 2019 can build projects as is for 2017, 2015, etc...
