run_target() dependencies are missing when using vs2017 generator

[dndanik]

When running project created using run_target() from vs2017 solution it skips building targets provided by depends kwarg. Works on windows when using ninja backend.

Example project here.

run_target() generated project file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <ItemGroup Label="ProjectConfigurations">
        <ProjectConfiguration Include="debug|x64">
            <Configuration>debug</Configuration>
            <Platform>x64</Platform>
        </ProjectConfiguration>
    </ItemGroup>

I have addition. Don't know may be it's MVS issue, may be not - even if project dependency correctly setted (by Meson), custom build event not running affter all others depended project have builded.
