6812297: update project creation for Visual Studio 2005-2008

Details:

We have not updated project creation for Visual Studio since .NET 2003. VS 2008 Express is the only free edition available.

The Visual Studio internal converter does a pretty god job but with a few shortcomings.
Here are the problems discovered:
1) For command line compilation we supply  _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE define but the flag is missing in the VS proj file
2) In VS proj in the CommandLine property it was OK in .NET 2003 to separate 2 commands with <CR>. Since 2005 we need "&#x0D;&#x0A;"
3) If cl or link are called from a shell script from IDE in >2003 the pipes can not be used. This effects creation of vm.def files

So I have addressed these issues.

Comments to changes:

1) Replaced /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE in make/windows/makefiles/compile.make with
#pragma warning( disable : 4996 ) in src/share/vm/utilities/globalDefinitions_visCPP.hpp
That is the place where we disable other warnings.
There I also had to move vsnprintf down a bit

Also I had to add /D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE  to make/windows/makefiles/adlc.make since adlc does not use globalDefinitions_visCPP.hpp

2)Updated make/windows/makefiles/sanity.make, make/windows/makefiles/rules.make, make/windows/create.bat to process .Net 2005/2008 cl versions

3)Added to build_vm_def.sh an attempt to recover from error when "which" command failed

4)Added if build_vm_def.sh is going to use version 800/900 of link.exe then use transit file for dumpbin

5) Added/changed to src/share/tools/MakeDeps/WinGammaPlatformVC7.java, src/share/tools/MakeDeps/WinGammaPlatformVC8.java, 
src/share/tools/MakeDeps/WinGammaPlatformVC9.java so that generated proj files get proper version

6) Change in WinGammaPlatformVC7.java to address issue 2 above

7) Because of issue 3 above I added passing of linker version in make/windows/makefiles/makedeps.make
