This reduces our CI running time by roughly half without compromising
much test coverage by much. We can mostly safely assume that very few
Meson bugs will be arch-specific with Visual Studio.
The 'Visual Studio 2017' image does not include VS2010, so we have to use
the 'Visual Studio 2015' image by default and only use the 2017 image for
msvc2017 compiler tests.
It causes the cpython tests to fail when using the x86_64 toolchain.

This is useful to know what MSBuild.exe and Ninja we are using and
whether the correct one has been set via PATH by vcvarsall.bat and
hasn't been overwritten by appveyor.
Now we test:
MSVC 2010 + Ninja (x86)
MSVC 2015 + Ninja (x86)
MSVC 2015 + Ninja (x86_64)
MSVC 2010 + MSBuild (x86)
MSVC 2015 + MSBuild (x86)
MSVC 2015 + MSBuild (x86_64)
MSVC 2010 Express only shipped with an x86 toolchain, so we can only
test x86 for that.
