vcbuild.bat already supports both Visual Studio 2013 and 2015. Lets be explicit about it to avoid devs installing an old IDE.

Is the 2015 thing called "for Windows Desktop"?

@nodejs/platform-windows any input on clarifying exactly what's supported would be helpful

The full edition doesn't have a "for Windows Desktop" SKU. Only the Visual Studio Express does and it was called "for Windows Desktop" in 2013 and "for Desktop" in 2015.

`vcbuild.bat` already supports both Visual Studio 2013 and 2015.

@orangemocha just pushed an updated.

Would you agree we can combine the express editions into one line of "for Desktop", rather than having two different lines just to get "for Windows Desktop" for VS Express 2013?

Seems clear enough to me, but would like to get another +1.

LGTM
