Switch "cl /?" to "cl /help" in MSVC scripts for platform detection
"cl /?" produces a different output if run on a real or a virtual drive (this can be set with a simple subst command), causing an error in the MSVC scripts if building on a virtual drive because the platform to use cannot be detected. "cl /help", on the contrary, produces a consistent output if used on a real or virtual drive. Changing to "/help" allows the compilation to work with a virtual drive as long as the top of the code repository is part of the drive, without impacting the build on real drives.
