Proposal: Dropping MSVC

Windows user here,

I’m not agaisnt the proposal at all, in fact I’ve noticed some issues with fdb on windows like really large memory usage after usage (even though the storage is set to ssd) and so on, I never filled an issue because I know the real production enviroment will be linux, I use windows only for development since is my main OS

I’m fine using any of the proposals, clang looks like a really good option but as mention has the same problem as msvc which needs to be maintained

Also wsl does not work right now FoundationDB does not run on Windows Subsystem For Linux (WSL) , wsl2 is on development and I’d guess will make running fdb a native like experience

I do think @KrzysFR has more to say about the proposal since he maintain the C# client bindings
