Update the LLDB build instructions for windows to be simpler and use MSVC to build. This is just as effective and has the benefit of making it easier to debug lldb.

How does using MSVC to build make it easier to debug? I assume it has something to do with MSVC generating PDBs instead of DWARF. Not that I'm against building with MSVC, just curious what your perspective is. |

Yeah, its mostly the quality of the generated debug info, particularly on release builds is much better from MSVC than from clang. |
