Retire VS 2017 support

Visual Studio 2017 reaches it's mainstream end-of-life on April 12, 2022. I should retire these projects that time:

  • DirectXTK_Desktop_2017.vcxproj
  • DirectXTK_Desktop_2017_Win10.vcxproj
  • DirectXTK_Windows10_2017.vcxproj
  • DirectXTKAudio_Desktop_2017_Win7.vcxproj
  • DirectXTKAudio_Desktop_2017_Win8.vcxproj
  • xwbtool_Desktop_2017.vcxproj

Along with all the associated test suite VS 2017 projects.

I am not sure when I'll be retiring Xbox One XDK support which is not supported for VS 2019 or later. That means I'm not sure if I'll delete DirectXTK_XboxOneXDK_2017.vcxproj or not with this change.

I'll remove desktop and UWP support for VS 2017 in April. XDK support which requires VS 2017 (15.9) will be kept until 2023.
