Add MSBuild targets for Qt

Added MSBuild customization files to support Qt-specific tasks like moc,
rcc, uic. Instead of custom build steps that only allow a command line
field, which has to be specified for each project item, MSBuild targets
allow each tool to have a dedicated dialog (or "property page") with
one field per tool option. Common options can be specified only once at
project/configuration level and inherited by all items of the same type.
Unlike custom build steps that can only run in sequence, using the Qt
MSBuild targets it is possible to run the tools in parallel processes.
