VS: Unicode paths garbled when using MSBuild generator

Repro steps:

  1. Japanese OS (Windows)
  2. Create a CMake project in a directory containing unicode characters, e.g. "プロジェクト"
  3. Generate using "Visual Studio 16 2019" generator
  4. Run build

Expected: Unicode characters display properly Actual: Unicode characters are garbled

This is related to this MSBuild issue. The solution should be to use UseUtf8Encoding="Always" instead of StdOutEncoding="UTF-8" in the generated MSBuild files.
