Update documentation about use of NATVIS

The docs were still talking about Visual Studio 2013, which we've not supported in a while. I made the documentation a bit more vague because NATVIS is sometimes automatically picked up when building and sometimes requires manually installing the files. (For me, LLVM NATVIS is automatically picked up while Clang NATVIS needs manual installation; this happens because the way the monorepo is organized causes confusion when used with Visual Studio's built-in CMake functionality. Building from a .sln file generated by CMake may have better behavior in this case.)
