This adds support to compile the html python api docs from the command line by running `make doc_py` matching support between windows and unix.
This patch also makes it so the compiler is not needed if you set the `blender_bin` variable, this affects icon generation as well.
In the future, I want to move away from generating the build output in the build directory but that can come in a later change.

This adds support for building the icons from make.bat
unlike bash there is no passing environment variables
on the command line.
The scripts go out of their way to locate both blender
and inkscape however if they are not found, the user is
given a helpful error message telling them how to set
the variables.
Although some extra help can be given there, if your
normal build is a 2019 full build running
`make 2019 full icons`
will help it find the blender executable as well.
finally if you know the name of your build folder
running
`make builddir build_windows_Lite_x64_vc16_Release icons`
will also work, if all fails you can point directly to
the blender executable by running
`set BLENDER_BIN=c:\where\blender\lives\blender.exe`
before running `make icons` or `make icons_geom`
The python scripts needed some small modifications since
without the PATHEXT, SystemRoot and SystemDrive
environment variables python will not initialize properly
on windows. (Not blender related, even mainline python
won't start without those)
sccache [1] is one of the few ccache like solutions that will
work on windows.
sccache support can be enabled with the `WITH_WINDOWS_SCCACHE`
cmake option however it will only will work with ninja as the
build system, msbuild is not supported currently.
Advanced option, developes are expected to obtain and configure
sccache on their own.
```
Full build no cache 1428.90s (100.00%)
Full build cached 434.34s ( 30.40%)

SVN takes a long time to sync even if there are no updates,
the `code_update` parameter gives the option opt out of the
SVN updates.
This is a developer option, people just wanting to build
blender and not do any development are highly recommended
to keep using the `update` method.
There are couple of caviats currently:
- The script requires system-wide Python 3 available in the current
search PATH as python.exe.
This will get addressed soon by distributing unpacked Python binary
in our libraries.
- Since the libraries folder is to be known, this requires to have
MSVC detected. Not too bad, since formatting is still way slower
than detection, but still doesn't feel ideal.
This will currently only work for the RelWithDebInfo configuration since asan
does not support the debug crt. for source line information in the reports,
you need a copy of llvm-symbolizer in the blender folder or set the
ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH environment variable to point to it. Currently (as of
6.0.0) llvm-symbolizer does not ship with the binary clang/llvm distribution.

This commit contains the minimum to make clang build/work with blender, asan and ninja build support is forthcoming
Things to note:
1) Builds and runs, and is able to pass all tests (except for the freestyle_stroke_material.blend test which was broken at that time for all platforms by the looks of it)
2) It's slightly faster than msvc when using cycles. (time in seconds, on an i7-3370)

3) clang on windows uses a drop in replacement for the Microsoft cl.exe (takes some of the Microsoft parameters, but not all, and takes some of the clang parameters but not all) and uses ms headers + libraries + linker, so you still need visual studio installed and will use our existing vc14 svn libs.
4) X64 only currently, X86 builds but crashes on startup.
5) Tested with llvm/clang 6.0.0
6) Requires visual studio integration, available at https://github.com/LazyDodo/llvm-vs2017-integration
7) The Microsoft compiler spawns a few copies of cl in parallel to get faster build times, clang doesn't, so the build time is 3-4x slower than with msvc.
8) No openmp support yet. Have not looked at this much, the binary distribution of clang doesn't seem to include it on windows.
9) No ASAN support yet, some of the sanitizers can be made to work, but it was decided to leave support out of this commit.

make.bat was starting to become hard to maintain, this refactors it into separate batch files for each stage of the process.
-Improved detection of msvc2013/2015
-Improved failure handling.
-Added check for working msbuild and C++ compiler
-Added verbose switch to ease trouble shooting.
-Added Check if svn/cmake/git are in the path before using them
-Display the build configuration before asking to download the libraries
-Offer an option to recover an interrupted checkout of the libraries.
-Automatically check out sub-modules in-case they are missing.
