    build: Clean up search for libpng
    
    We can use CMake's built-in search for the libpng headers and libraries
    for Visual Studio-like compilers; however, we must use 'png' instead of
    'libpng' for the package name for this to work.
    
    This will cover the manual headers and .lib search in a more
    comprehensive way, which CMake will handle for us and it is an
    optionally-installed item for Visual Studio 2017 and later, and is very
    commonly used on Windows dev environments.
    
    Also use a common variable to indicate whether we are using an MSVC-like
    compiler, to save future typing.
