Sort out VS Redistributable Story for Native Binaries #1440
Description
I need to finalize the solution for compiling binaries against our desired OS matrix and how we want to deal with VS redistribution.
Questions to resolve:
- Do we want to depend on a shared VS redistributable environment on the system (installed via vcredist.exe)?
- Do we want to statically link VS libraries into our native binaries?
- Which technique works better on downlevel SKUs?

This may be dependent on #1624 as well

I used the CoreCLR CMake settings to generate the plugin binary so its external requirements (VCredist, API set forwarders, etc.) match those of coreclr.dll. We have verified it on 8.1, Server 2012r2, Win 10, and Nano Server. Win 7 has a known issue and Win 8 is still TBD.
