[issue24476] Statically link vcruntime140.dll

[Steve Dower]

New submission from Steve Dower:

It's possible to statically link the vcruntime140.dll dependency without statically linking the entire CRT, which will save us from having to redistribute the file (meaning the entire CRT dependency is now system components).

Patch to follow, and I'm very +1 on this, but didn't want to skip the chance for people to raise concerns or questions.
