Ref T99618
Instead of the the same folder as the Blender executable, generate a manifest
that lets us move the libraries out of the way of users and into a separate
folder.

"Fix" should be taken with a grain of salt, this will fix
the issue on win10 1903 and newer.
OpenVDB uses boosts memory mapped files which call
CreateFileA in the back-end when you feed it a
regular string.
now the encoding for CreateFileA will be whatever the
default is for the system, it internally turns it into
a wide string with said encoding and calls CreateFileW.
This change changes that encoding to UTF-8 for just
blender so we can use utf-8 with any of the narrow
api functions. This is a manifest change and only win10
1903 will look for it, so that sadly limits the fix
to only a subset of users.
While ideally we would have fixed the issue our selves,
some of the calls to openvdb::io::file::open are beyond
our control (ie from inside USD or Mantaflow)
Note: This only changes the behaviour in regard to Win32
API functions, regular CRT functions like fopen or if_stream will
still not accept utf-8 filenames.

For 2.93 we bumped the minimum windows requirement
to windows 8.1, but did not do any clean-up of any
win 8/8.1 API usage we dynamically accessed though
LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress.
This patch bumps _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0603 (win 8.1)
and cleans up any API use that was accessed in a
more convoluted way than necessary

In older versions the ms crt was only a few dlls, in recent versions
this jumped to over 40 leading to quite a bit of clutter in our
bin folder.
This change moves the CRT into its own folder.
For developers that generally already have the runtime globaly
available on their machine, there is a new cmake option
(WITH_WINDOWS_BUNDLE_CRT, default ON) that you can use to toggle
installing the runtime to the blender bin folder, and save some
time during the initial build, this option is off by default for
only the developer profile.
