[Bf-committers] Promoting MSVC 2015 builds as official

[Blendergit]

I totally agree to switch to MSVC2015.

I moved to MSVC2015 last week and the compile time is shorter, so as I haven’t found any issue, I will never back to MSVC2013.

Am not at all a windows specialist, but on a general point of view, I 
totally agree that maintaining a single build env for windows will help 
everybody save time for more interesting things, reduce occurrences of 
libs version mismatch between build env, and… use a more modern and 
standard-compliant compiler afaik.

So unless we do have any serious known issue with MSVC2015, I see no 
reason not to switch to it and deprecate (fade into oblivion) MSVC2013. ;)

Just my two cents
