Build instructions for Windows

[AaronBallman]

It seems that the build instructions for Windows (https://github.com/keystone-engine/keystone/blob/master/docs/COMPILE-WINDOWS.md) do not work out of the box.

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:27 (cmake_policy):
  The OLD behavior for policy CMP0051 will be removed from a future version
  of CMake.

  The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
  policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
  specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
  behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified
Stop.

Using the manual instructions gives the same issues with not finding LLVMBuild.txt. This is performed within a Visual Studio 2019 Preview developer command prompt. It looks like something about the CMake files is confused and looking for cygwin paths instead of real paths.

Also, as a related question: are the build instructions accurate that compilation requires VS 2013 or older? If so, it would be nice to update so that the project can be compiled with a newer MSVC, like 2017 or 2019 since VS 2013 reached its mainstream end of life in 2019.
