We still handle at a number of places ancient historic _MSC_VER versions of
Visual Studio releases e.g. pre VS2013 (VS2013 has _MSC_VER 1800).
This should be cleaned up, as long as it is not 3rd party code that we don't
want to adjust.
Currently still supported ("valid") VS version are 2017+, see
https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/make/autoconf/toolchain_microsoft.m4
.
VALID_VS_VERSIONS="2019 2017 2022"
Even with adjusted toolchain m4 files, something older than VS2013 (also
probably older than VS2015) would not be able to build jdk anymore.
