Visual Studio Projects: Avoid modifying simh.sln while build_vstudio converts

Browse Source 
When converting to a newer Visual Studio version, a new solution file is
created named simh-'vsversion'.sln so that we don't modify any files
managed by git.  The resulting converted solution file will be automatically
used when build_vstudio.bat is subsequently run and that solution can be
opened directly by the Visual Studio IDE.
