[issue43804] "Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows" docs are very out-of-date

I agree with Zach's comment on the PR - this topic needs an overhaul.

All the information required is going to be out there somewhere, and those of us on this issue can help fill in any gaps, but someone will need to spend a bit of time on research and laying it out nicely.

This is a great contribution opportunity for someone who would rather contribute writing and research rather than just code. However, it is a tough area, and so any improvements will be pretty well scrutinised.

Good docs here will be very impactful throughout the community, so let's make sure they're good.
