Hotspot's vm_version.cpp currently does:

 211 #ifndef HOTSPOT_BUILD_COMPILER
 212 #ifdef _MSC_VER
 213 #if _MSC_VER == 1600
 214 #define HOTSPOT_BUILD_COMPILER "MS VC++ 10.0 (VS2010)"
 215 #elif _MSC_VER == 1700
 216 #define HOTSPOT_BUILD_COMPILER "MS VC++ 11.0 (VS2012)"
...

and similarly for the other compilers.

Configure already extracts the compiler version information e.g.

* Toolchain: microsoft (Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 15.5.5 (devkit))

so we should use this information to set HOTSPOT_BUILD_COMPILER so that the mapping tables in the source code can be removed and do not need to be updated for each new compiler update.
