DOCS: mention that mpv doesn't build with MSVC

And troll Microsoft slightly while we're at it. But is it trolling if
it's the truth?

The level of C99 support in MSVC is probably a bit better than most
people think, but it's by far not adequate. We need a bit of either C11

Linking libmpv with MSVC programs
---------------------------------
You can build C++ programs in Visual Studio and link them with libmpv. To do
this, you need a Visual Studio which supports ``stdint.h`` (recent ones do),
mpv/libmpv cannot be built with Visual Studio (Microsoft is too incompetent to
support C99/C11 properly and/or hates open source and Linux too much to
seriously do it). But you can build C++ programs in Visual Studio and link them
with a libmpv built with MinGW.
To do this, you need a Visual Studio which supports ``stdint.h`` (recent ones do),
and you need to create a import library for the mpv DLL:
