MSVC has a major performance regression observed when targeting ARM64 since 
v19.32 (VS 17.2.0). `cl.exe` spends a lot of time on compiling 
`StandardLibrary.cpp` and `CGBuiltin.cpp`, and total build duration rises 
extremely. This makes builds stagnate even on a real hardware, but VM-based 
builds (like building on cloud agents from GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines) 
are experiencing most damage as they also performance- and time-limited.

The issue appears to be related to some optimizations applied in `/O2` mode. It 
is reported on [Developer 
Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Compiling-a-specific-code-for-ARM64-with/10444970).
 While the investigation is  in progress, we could apply a workaround to 
improve build time. `/O2` actually enables a set of optimizations, and only one 
of them does all slowdown. The idea is to disable optimizations, and then apply 
all but one back, effectively excluding the problematic option from the set.

This patch alters the CMake configuration for aforementioned files. Changes are 
limited to:
- non-debug builds
- MSVC of the specific version
- target arch (ARM64).
