Jonathan Marler 7f6088ee1f windows: add rc file ...

Adds an rc file for windows.  An rc file is a source file given to the
toolchain that instructs it on what "resources" to embed inside the
executable.  You can think of "resources" as files or data that get
embedded into the executable and can be accessed both by the application
at runtime or by the OS.  The OS uses resources for things like getting
the icon of the executable or extracting the version of an exe for the
user.  Note that exe resources can also be modified without having to
recompile/relink the binary.

Thanks to Squeek502 zig has its own "RC Compiler" so this should still be
buildable on all platforms.

In the RC file I've included some basic info and left in comments for
other info to be populated later.  I've also included a manifest file
which starts out by telling windows that our exe will be DPI aware and
to use a slightly more modern look and feel for native controls.
