Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host. Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that executable part of a Windows Server container. Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus, extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building BIND in Windows Server containers.
