VS 16.6 added a `StdOutEncoding` setting for custom commands to tell MSBuild that the output is encoded as UTF-8. In commit bc877a7e (Add support to indicate UTF-8 custom command pipe output encoding, 2020-04-08) CMake learned to add the setting in anticipation of the VS 16.6 release. However, when 16.6 was released it had a bug in the implementation of custom tasks with StdOutEncoding enabled that was exposed by our test suite. In commit 5058fb54 (VS: Drop StdOutEncoding with VS 16.6 pending investigation, 2020-05-29) we disabled the setting pending investigation. The problem is fixed in VS 16.7 Preview 3, so restore use of the setting when a VS instance of at least that version is detected. Fixes: #20769
