MSVC does support most of C99 since the 2013 version. Try to
detect whether the compiler in the path needs to run the C99
converter or not. When the converter is omitted, the compilation
time is reduced quite drastically.

Prior to this, users could still use --cc="c99conv -noconv cl"
to run MSVC 2013 to achieve the same.

Since this only affects the value of cc_default, long before the
compiler itself is detected and set up, we can't use the normal
check_cc/TMPC/TMPO macros.
