      VS: Fix GenerateDebugInformation values for v140 and v141 toolsets · ae44496e
      Brad King authored
      
      When VS 2015 was first released, its new v140 toolset came with a
      `link.xml` file that changed the `GenerateDebugInformation` boolean
      (`false` and `true`) value from earlier toolsets to an enumeration
      consisting of the possible values `No`, `Debug`, and `DebugFastLink`.
      
      We first adapted to this in commit v3.4.2~2^2 (VS: Fix VS 2015 .vcxproj
      file value for GenerateDebugInformation, 2016-01-08), but that broke
      older toolsets that still expected the boolean.  Then commit
      v3.6.0-rc1~295^2~1 (VS: Fix VS 2015 .vcxproj debug setting for older
      toolsets, 2016-02-24) added a hack to fix up the value based on the
      toolset in use.  Several follow-up commits fixed this for more older
      toolsets because our flag table was at the time based on the generator
      in use rather than the toolset in use.
      
      Since commit v3.8.0-rc1~396^2 (VS: Choose flag map based on the toolset
      name, 2016-10-17) we use a flag table based on the toolset, so the fixup
      hack should not be needed.  We had to keep it around only due to our
      default value for GenerateDebugInformation (`false` or `No`) still being
      based on the generator instead of the toolset.
      
      A VS 2015 update was released that changed the v140 toolset `link.xml`
      file back to using `false` and `true` for the `GenerateDebugInformation`
      enumeration variants previously known as `No` and `Debug`.  In order to
      know which pair to use, we need to parse the `link.xml` file for the
      current toolset.
      
      Switch back to using `false` and `true` unconditionally in our
      `GenerateDebugInformation` flag table entries and default value.  With
      that plus the toolset-based flag table, we now get incorrect values for
      `GenerateDebugInformation` only when using a v140 toolset from an older
      VS 2015 installation.  Detect this case by parsing `link.xml` and add
      special logic to convert `false` and `true` to `No` and `Debug` to
      satisfy the older toolset specification.

      Update the help text to match that from v141's link.xml file.
