This addresses the potential silent failure of attempting to build EntityX as a shared library with MSVC, seen in #160, #186, #206, #246, and others. It is expressed as a warning instead of a fatal error to permit the "workaround" found in multiple comments on those issues.
With this warning emitted at configuration-time, it is made clear to the end-user that this is an unsupported option on their platform, saving potential time and effort diagnosing the issue or reporting it as a bug.
