Remove all of our wild path antics; force C++/WinRT projects to bin/,…

… obj/

This commit fixes our longstanding build artifact output issues and
finally unifies all C++ project output into bin/ and obj/.

I've removed NoOutputRedirection.

I validated this change by running repeated incremental builds after
changing individual .cpp files in many of our C++/WinRT projects.
