Add more instructions for building ninja in Windows (#1169)

Browse Source 
This should clarify that the instructions are for Visual Studio.
It also opens the possibility for others to write similar sections for using gcc/clang in Windows.

On Windows, you'll need to install Python to run `configure.py`, and
run everything under a Visual Studio Tools Command Prompt (or after
running `vcvarsall` in a normal command prompt). See below if you
want to use mingw or some other compiler instead of Visual Studio.
running `vcvarsall` in a normal command prompt).
For other combinations such as gcc/clang you will need the compiler
(gcc/cl) in your PATH and you will have to set the appropriate
platform configuration script.

Visual Studio.
##### Using Visual Studio
Assuming that you now have python installed, then the steps for building under
Windows using Visual Studio are:
Clone and checkout the latest release (or whatever branch you want). You
can do this in either a command prompt or by opening a git bash prompt:
```
$ git clone git://github.com/ninja-build/ninja.git && cd ninja
$ git checkout release
```
Then:
1. Open a Windows command prompt in the folder where you checked out ninja.
2. Select the Microsoft build environment by running
`vcvarsall.bat` with the appropriate environment.
3. Build ninja and test it.
The steps for a Visual Studio 2015 64-bit build are outlined here:
```
> "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x64
> python configure.py --bootstrap
> ninja --help
```
Copy the ninja executable to another location, if desired, e.g. C:\local\Ninja.
Finally add the path where ninja.exe is to the PATH variable.
