fix cmdpal

Updated platform toolset configuration to support VS 2026 (v145) while
maintaining backward compatibility with VS 2022 (v143). The build system
now automatically selects the appropriate toolset based on the Visual
Studio version being used.

Changes:
- Updated Cpp.Build.props to conditionally use v145 toolset for VS 2026
- Updated all 115 vcxproj files with conditional platform toolset
- Verified successful build with Visual Studio 2026 (MSBuild 18.0.5)
