[lldb-dev] Prebuilt binary for Windows

[Vadim Chugunov via lldb-dev]

I don't know an easy way to accomplish that.  While app-local deployment is
now supported, the set of deployed dlls depends on the host OS version
(according to this
<https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2015/03/03/introducing-the-universal-crt/>).
  I've opened a bug <http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=31699> for now.
