Update How to build - Windows.md

Browse source 
Fixing up Visual Studio 2019 build steps as they were missing a few steps that caused issues during building.  Ref: https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/3743.  Also moved the current step-by-step instructions to the top of the page and left the older/outdated instructions for reference purposes at the bottom as they still contain some useful details.

# Step by Step Visual Studio 2019 Instructions
# This how-to is out of date
Install Visual Studio Community 2019 from [visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/)
Select all workload options for C++
Install git for Windows from [gitforwindows.org](https://gitforwindows.org/)
Download and run the exe accepting all defaults
Clone the respository. To place it in C:\PrusaSlicer, run:
c:\>git clone https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer.git
Go to the Windows Start Menu and Click on "Visual Studio 2019" folder, then select the ->"x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" to open a command window and run the following:
cd c:\PrusaSlicer\deps
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DDESTDIR="c:\PrusaSlicer"
msbuild /m ALL_BUILD.vcxproj // This took 13.5 minutes on my machine: core I7-7700K @ 4.2Ghz with 32GB main memory and 20min on a average laptop
cd c:\PrusaSlicer\
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="c:\PrusaSlicer\usr\local"
Double-click c:\PrusaSlicer\build\PrusaSlicer.sln to open in Visual Studio 2019.
OR
Open Visual Studio for C++ development (VS asks this the first time you start it).
Select PrusaSlicer_app_gui as your startup project (right-click->Set as Startup Project).
Run Build->Rebuild Solution once to populate all required dependency modules. This is NOT done automatically when you build/run. If you run both Debug and Release variants, you will need to do this once for each.
Debug->Start Debugging or press F5
PrusaSlicer should start. You're up and running!
