appveyor: add Visual Studio builds (based on CMake)

This only goes back to VS 12 (2013) because MSVC didn't support log2
until then.

Introduction

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli

Brotli is open-sourced under the MIT License, see the LICENSE file.
