Problem with Windows installation guide, + FIX

[golanlevin]

As of January 2019, the OF Windows installation guide has some significant errors and omissions which prevent a new user from being able to get OF up and running. I'm referring to the page at: https://openframeworks.cc/setup/vs/

1. Outdated link to OF plugin The link to the OpenFrameworks Visual Studio plugin is out of date and incorrect. Currently the setup guide links to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ArturoCastro.openFrameworksplugin, which is for the plugin that works with Visual Studio 2015.

Instead, the page should link here, which is the version of the plugin that works with Visual Studio Community 2017: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=HalfA.openFrameworkspluginforVisualStudio2017

2. Documentation currently missing for necessary additional VS components A number of additional VS components must be installed in order to develop with OF in Windows. As near as we can determine, there is no documentation of this fact. Below is a screenshot of the components that need to be installed. This list was debugged by, and courtesy of, @CharStiles:

Thanks for your attention! <3 Golan
