Fixes issue brought up in #4020.

In short, there is an edge case of back compatibility for cmake versions 3.1 and earlier. Our recent changes to preferred generators logic made this bug evident.

This bug only affects kits, and only affects users who are using that back compatibility, documented here: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/generator/Visual%20Studio%2015%202017.html#platform-selection
