[feature] MSBuild add upgrade_project again

See original GitHub issue

Continuing https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/11966

The new MSBuild didn’t port upgrade_project attribute from old MSBuild.

Motivation: I started to port xz_utils recipe and it comes with .sln files, and when need to build using the new MSBuild, the expected SDK version is older, and it would be great if I could update the .sln file automatically.

I think it should be a MSBuild attribute as it should not change:

msbuild = MSBuild(self)
msbuild.upgrade_project = True (default True)

I’ve read the CONTRIBUTING guide.

@memsharded Excellent then. I would be great an example on docs.conan.io, just in case people arrive to the same situation.

self.run() defaults to self.run(..., env=["conanbuild.bat|sh"]), being conanbuildenv script generated by VirtualBuildEnv, and automatically added to conanbuild aggregator. So as long as self.run() is executed after generate() of VirtualBuildEnv (explicit or implicit via auto_use conf), it should work
