VS: Write ZERO_CHECK.proj for VS19 and above

For VS 19 and above, switch the format of project file to
`VsProjectType::proj` for ZERO_CHECK target. The `ZERO_CHECK.proj`
consists of primitive MSBuild commands only and has no dependency on any
other targets or props files. This proj file is written as a
`ProjectReference` for other targets, but is not written to the sln
file.
