Avoid slow "vswhere" calls (#14)

Recently added Visual Studio location with "vswhere" seems to be very
slow when using "-find" with path patterns. As in, 5 minutes slow.

vswhere does not provide much insight into why this happens, but I guess
that's because filesystem operations (and search in particular) are not
very fast on Windows.

Improve the search performance by combining vswhere with probing. Use
vswhere to locate the installation root, and then probe around for the
batch script we need.

Also, don't use vswhere for Visual Studio 2015 as it does not seem to
work. Rely only on probing here.

And also, add some debug logs so that it's possible to track which path
has been used, if you're interested in it.
