appveyor: add support for using custom CMake versions

To allow more flexibility and not be limited by defaults offered by
the runner machines:
- Visual Studio 2013: CMake 3.12.2
- Visual Studio 2015, 2017: CMake 3.16.2
Ref: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/

Start using 3.18.4, 3.19.8, 3.20.6 in older VS jobs to add variations.

Time cost is a couple of seconds per job.

Ref: #18704 (Discussion)
Ref: #16973

Closes #19737
