[CMake] Why does CMake 3.9.0 open VS2017 when targeting 2013 after installing 2017... sigh.

[Robert Maynard]

In news CUDA 10 release notes include the statement:

- Starting with CUDA 10.0, nvcc supports all versions of Visual Studio 2017
(past and upcoming updates)

So the problems of matching VS versions and CUDA versions should be behind
us.
