While we're here changing the MSVC tooltool package, and since we're
going to remove the INCLUDE and LIB lines from mozconfigs that contain
the SDK version, we might as well make the SDK in the tooltool package
closer to an actual SDK, so that automation and local build more or
less follow the same (upcoming) configure code path.

Previously, Windows toolchains and related dependencies (SDKs, etc)
were installed on Windows builders by people responsible for
maintaining those machines.
This commit takes a step in a new direction. We introduce a
script (complete with documentation) that can produce a zip
archive (or any archive format if people want to implement
support) of the toolchain files. Basically, you install
Visual Studio 2015 Community, run the script, and produce
a self-contained zip file containing everything from Microsoft
you need to build Firefox. With a copy of this archive and
an installation of MozillaBuild, it is possible to build
Firefox on a fresh Windows installation. No time-consuming
Visual Studio installation needed.
The goal is to upload these archives to tooltool and have
our Windows builders download and extract them at run-time.
At which time, we can remove all the other Visual Studio
and SDK files from builders because they don't need to be
baked into the image.
We may find tooltool's caching isn't good enough and we have
to more aggressively caching the standalone toolchain files.
But that is a problem for another day. Whatever happens,
we'll need the functionality in this script to produce
a self-contained archive of the toolchain.
There are certainly files in the produced archive that aren't
needed. I think perfect is the enemy of done and we can prune
the archive over time, if wanted.
