vcxproj: handle resource files, too

On Windows, we also compile a "resource" file, which is similar to source code, but contains metadata (such as the program version). So far, we did not compile it in `MSVC` mode, only when compiling Git for Windows with the GNU C Compiler. In preparation for including it also when compiling with MS Visual C, let's teach our `vcxproj` generator to handle those sort of files, too.
