Copy DLLs needed to run ngscopeclient.exe as part of the build process #748

After building ngscopeclient using the instructions from the manual, I am faced with a slew of DLL not found errors when running ngscopeclient.exe from outside the MSYS shell (as most users will want to do). Below is the list of DLLs that need to be copied into the build\src\ngscopeclient directory to get the exe to run standalone.

libgcc_s_seh-1.dll libwinpthread-1.dll libstdc++-6.dll libgomp-1.dll libsigc-2.0-0.dll libpng16-16.dll libcairomm-1.0-1.dll zlib1.dll libcairo-2.dll libfontconfig-1.dll libfreetype-6.dll libpixman-1-0.dll libbrotlidec.dll libbz2-1.dll libharfbuzz-0.dll libexpat-1.dll libbrotlicommon.dll libglib-2.0-0.dll libgraphite2.dll libintl-8.dll libpcre2-8-0.dll libiconv-2.dll

You need to use the MSI installer to get all the DLLs copied along with the exe file. See source code of documentation (published version is not up-to-date) for details on how to build the MSI installer: https://github.com/ngscopeclient/scopehal-docs/blob/32aa18b0b511e0a32a1d27e461dfec637a4fb264/section-ng-gettingstarted.tex#L337
