RFR: JDK-8072413 Configure should fail for VS2010 without SP1 since that cannot build

When building with VS2010 without SP1, the build will fail with:
LINK : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file 
invalid or corrupt

This creates frustration and support questions in the build mailing list 
from time to time.

We should check for VS2010 without SP1 at configure time, and fail if 
this is detected.
