Add support for the new MSVC preprocessor (HDFGroup#4078)

Microsoft has added a new, standards-conformant preprocessor
to MSVC, which can be enabled with /Zc:preprocessor. This
preprocessor trips over our HDopen() function-like variadic
macro since it uses a hack that only works with the legacy
MSVC preprocessor.

This fix adds ifdefs to use the correct HDopen() macro
depending on the MSVC preprocessor selected.

Fixes HDFGroup#2515
