Remove MSVC scripts
This commit removes all the scripts located in src/tools/msvc/ to build PostgreSQL with Visual Studio on Windows, meson becoming the recommended way to achieve that. The scripts held some information that is still relevant with meson, information kept and moved to better locations. Comments that referred directly to the scripts are removed. All the documentation still relevant that was in install-windows.sgml has been moved to installation.sgml under a new subsection for Visual. All the content specific to the scripts is removed. Some adjustments for the documentation are planned in a follow-up set of changes.

# would be fatal to try to compile PL/Perl to a different libc ABI than core
