9aa98db404 Visual Studio builds: Use PythonDir instead of PythonPath
This is to avoid confusion with the PYTHONPATH envvar that is commonly
used to determine where additional Python modules can be loaded,
especially in the case of a MSBuild build.  Note that envvar names are
not case sensitive on Windows in general.

a00e7ed32e win32: Update MSVC projects for glib-genmarshal
glib-genmarshal is now a Python script instead of a compiled program, so
we need to:

-Remove the projects that are used to build the glib-genmarshal sources.
-Generate the full glib-genmarshal Python script from glib-genmarshal.in
-Make Python a hard build-time requirement, since we use this tool
 in many parts of the stack (and it is the case for glib-mkenums).
-Tell people in the Visual Studio build README.txt files that Python
 2.7.x or 3.x is now required for the build/"install".

951fd642dc Visual Studio builds: Use the Centricular fork of libffi
The latest upstream libffi is getting bit-rotten with the Windows/MSVC
builds, and since we are eventually moving to a Meson-based build system,
make use of the Centricular fork of libffi[1], which is better maintained
and tested for builds on Windows, with the use of DLLs over static libraries
and elimination of awkward build flags that we had to use for GObject.

6dfc6fee7b Visual Studio builds: Move project files to win32/
It was suggested that the project files be moved here as we don't actually
need to go two directory layers from $(srcroot), and would help us to
standardize on things in the future across the board.
