Subject: Fix for compiling with Cuda 9.1 on VS 2017 version >= 15.5

Fix for #750, #626, #606, #534, without having to downgrade and do not require modification of host_config.h
Require an additional component during VS2017 installation (VC++ 2017 version 15.4 v14.11 toolset) and an additional command execution before compilation.
