Log Message:
syncscumm: add the Win32/MSVC build (create_project + vcpkg)

Windows has no gcc/configure, so the door builds through ScummVM's own
MSVC project generator rather than build.sh's configure+make. build.bat
restores and drives devtools/create_project -- patched with a --synchronet
option that emits our backends/platform/synchronet module in place of the
SDL platform backend -- then MSBuilds the generated solution against vcpkg,
producing syncscumm.exe with the same curated engines and the JPEG-XL and
Opus/Ogg audio tiers as the *nix build.

The door glue is ported to Windows behind door/sst_plat.{c,h} (winsock
send/recv, the monotonic clock, sleep, over xpdev's sockwrap/genwrap/
dirwrap), mirroring the sibling termgfx doors; syncscumm.cpp selects the
WindowsFilesystemFactory and blanket-allows forbidden symbols so the
Windows fs headers' <tchar.h> compiles.

Restored from the pinned tarball for this build (see PROVENANCE.md):
devtools/create_project, dists/engine-data/engine_data*.mk, and
backends/platform/sdl/win32/win32_wrapper.{h,cpp} (a Win32 Unicode helper
that core backend files pull in). backends/module.mk gates the
SDL-dependent win32 backend files on SDL_BACKEND, since the door defines
WIN32 without SDL.

Adds build.bat, msvc/Directory.Build.{props,targets} + vcpkg.json (local
vcpkg integration, x64-hosted compiler, LTCG/-Za disabled to dodge toolset
ICEs, Console subsystem, syncscumm.exe output), COMPILING.md and README.md.
