CNTK failed when build with permissive- + MSVC on windows.

[QuellaZhang]

CNTK failed with error C3861 and C2440 when build with permissive- on Windows, I use latest source on master branch. Could you please help take a look at this? Noted that this issue only found when compiles with unreleased vctoolset, that next release of MSVC will have this behavior.

You can repro this issue as the steps below:

1. git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/cntk D:\CNTK\src
2. open a clean x64 prompt and browse to D:\CNTK\src
3. set CL=/permissive- /wd4643 /wd4244 /wd4326
4. MSBuild /m /p:Configuration=Release_CpuOnly;Platform=x64 /p:WindowsTargetPlatformVersion= 10.0.16299.0 CNTK.sln /t:Rebuild
