[setup.py] use MSVC 10.0 when compiling for Windows Python 2.7
Python 2.7 for Windows is compiled using MS Visaul C++ 9.0 (Visual Studio 2008).
However the latter does not support many modern C++ features which are
required to compile the Brotli encoder. So we monkey-patch distutils
to always look for MSVC version 10.0 instead of 9.0.
