cmake: support MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY property

When using a new enough CMake (3.15+) prefer to use the
`MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY` property on targets to select the runtime
library variant.  This property is automatically set to the value
specified by `CMAKE_MSVC_RUNTIME_LIBRARY`.  This proper requires that
the CMake Policy 91 is set to new (see CMP0091).
