Dockerfile for Windows images

[sixeyed]

** This is a feature request **

It would be great to have Windows versions of the official image.

I have a sample Windows Dockerfile here which works well, but it takes a different approach from the Linux image. The Windows version deploys the published release rather than building from source.

Looking for feedback - I'm happy to maintain the Windows variants, and I can also set up CI (it would need to be AppVeyor at this stage, as they're the only service to provide Windows agents).

Soo, we have another request for a custom Docker image following #2693. I'm not sure a generic approach via promu will work in all cases. How do people feel about just adding new Dockerfiles everytime someone contributes one?

I think we need to support this in a standard way everywhere, or nowhere. We've had a few of these requests, how many different archs are we going to be asked for?

For Windows in particular, given that none of us are Windows people will we be able to maintain this?

Fair point @brian-brazil - but Windows has quite a large user base :) I'm happy to maintain the Windows variants. I do the same with the NATS image, I did the original Dockerfile and when they're prepping a release I help with the Windows testing.

This falls under prometheus/promu#89
