Regression: vcc compiler options can't be configured in cfg or nims files

Options in cfg or nimscript files loaded after nim/config/nim.cfg can overwrite options in nim/config/nim.cfg, but nim/config/nim.cfg cannot overwrite these options. Before commit df3d08b, $cpu.$os.vcc.* options are not set in nim/config/nim.cfg and vcc.* options are always used in both native compile and cross compile. So you can set vcc.options.always = "/INCORRECT" in your project.cfg so that it appears in the command line when you set --cpu:i386. But that caused issue #10387. After commit df3d08b, $cpu.$os.vcc.* options are set in nim/config/nim.cfg and vcc.* options are used in only native compile not in cross compile. If you are using x86_64 Nim and set --cpu:i386 option to do cross compile, your project.cfg need to use i386.windows.vcc.* options instead of vcc.* options.

For example:

i386.windows.vcc.options.always = "--platform:x86 /nologo /someoption"

I reverted "nim/config/nim.cfg" to commit df3d08b and tried to native compile and cross compile to i386 cpu with latest devel Nim on Windows 8.1. vcc.options.always = "/incorrect" set in nim.cfg affects native compile but ignored in cross compile.

git checkout df3d08b config\nim.cfg

Both test.nim and nim.cfg are in same directory.

test.nim:

echo "foo"

nim.cfg:

vcc.options.always = "/incorrect"
