Document wxMSVC_VERSION and wxMSVC_VERSION_AUTO

Browse Source 
Extend the description of library selection symbols used with MSVC to a
more general discussion of MSVC-specific symbols and document the
symbols affecting compiler prefix in this section too.

Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special @c wx/setup.h file for this
compiler in @c include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the
wxWidgets libraries using MSVC-specific pragmas which usually is much more
convenient than manually specifying the libraries list in all of the project
configurations. However sometimes linking with all the libraries is not
desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where
the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link
with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
configurations.
By default, the pragmas used in this file to actually link with wxWidgets
libraries suppose that the libraries are located in @c vc_lib or @c vc_dll
directory which is used by default. However when using multiple MSVC versions,
or when using the @ref plat_msw_binaries "official binaries", the libraries are
in a directory containing the compiler version number, e.g. @c vc140_dll. To
make linking work in this case, you must predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION as @c
vc140 <em>before</em> include @c wx/setup.h file, i.e. typically in the MSVS
project options. Alternatively, you can predefine @c wxMSVC_VERSION_AUTO symbol
(without any value), which means that the appropriate compiler version should
be used automatically, e.g. "vc100" for VC 10 (MSVS 2010), "vc140" for VC 14
(MSVS 2015) etc.
If the makefiles have been used to build the libraries from source and the @c CFG
variable has been set to specify a different output path for that particular
configuration of build then the @c wxCFG preprocessor symbol should be set in
the project that uses wxWidgets to the same value as the @c CFG variable in
order for the correct @c wx/setup.h file to automatically be included for that
configuration.
@subsection page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h_no_libs Library Selection for MSVC
As explained above, MSVC users don't need to explicitly specify wxWidgets
libraries to link with, as this is done by @c wx/setup.h. However sometimes
linking with all the libraries, as is done by default, is not desirable, for
example because some of them were not built and this is where the symbols in
this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link with the
corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
