[*] Drop MSVC support

Browse source 
To keep this PR description as short as possible, I will save the
ranting about MSVC for the blog post. In short: MSVC has been nothing
but a complete and utter slog to maintain for the *entire* existence of
Eden. CI is an absolute nightmare, it requires *completely* different
compile flags and definitions, has several sets of hacks dedicated to
getting its codegen to cooperate, is a horror story with respect to
dependency management, and is now completely broken and can't launch
games anymore.

Microsoft, you have long overstayed your welcome. And you're not getting
it back ever again. Good riddance.

* On Linux, this is usually [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/) 11+ or [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/) v14+
* GCC 12 also requires Clang 14+
* On Windows, we support:
* **[MSVC](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/)** (default)

* On Windows, install **[MSYS2](https://www.msys2.org)**
* MINGW64 is preferred for x86_64/amd64 compilation, but this is subject to change.
* ARM should use CLANGARM64
* On macOS, this is Apple Clang
* This can be installed with `xcode-select --install`
The following additional tools are also required:
* **[CMake](https://www.cmake.org/)** 3.22+ - already included with the Android SDK
* **[CMake](https://www.cmake.org/)** 3.22+
* **[Git](https://git-scm.com/)** for version control
* **[Windows installer](https://gitforwindows.org)**
* **[Python3](https://www.python.org/downloads/)** 3.10+ - necessary to download external repositories

* On Linux, *BSD and macOS, this can be done by the package manager
* If you wish to use Qt Creator, append `qtcreator` or `qt-creator` to the commands seen below.
* MSVC/clang-cl users on Windows must install through the official [Qt](https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss) installer
* Linux and macOS users may choose to use the installer as well.
* MSYS2 can also install Qt 6 via the package manager
* For help setting up Qt Creator, run `./install.sh -h qtcreator`
If you are on **Windows** and building with **MSVC** or **clang-cl**, you may go [back home](Build.md) and continue.
* MSYS2 must install Qt 6 via the package manager (`pacman`)
## Externals
