[issue40478] allow finding nmake.exe executable in MSVCCompiler

New submission from japm48 : Some toolchains (e.g. calibre) use a custom build system based on distutils to find the compiler tools. For those, it is useful to have the path of nmake.exe easily discoverable. -- components: Distutils messages: 367951 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, japm48
