Remove the ability to build Postgres with Visual Studio (Michael
Paquier)

Meson is now the only available Windows build method.

This is a category mistake. What was removed was the special code we had
for building with VS, but not the ability to build with VS. You can
build with VS using meson (see for example drongo on the buildfarm)
