NMake: Use UTF-8 BOM in response files only with MSVC tooling

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/cmake:nmake-rsp-encoding into master

Since !6041 (merged), we add a BOM to response files to tell MSVC tooling that they are encoded as UTF-8. However, the "NMake Makefiles" generator may also be used with non-MSVC toolchains that do not understand the BOM. Update the response file encoding selection heuristic to add the BOM only with MSVC tooling.

Fixes: #23143 (closed)
Backport: release
