One Click installer - seestar.bat

I made a one click installer for those that get lost trying to install requirements needed on windows.

Instead of a pull request will just drop it here if anyone is interested, this will check and install git, will skip if you have. Will check and install python (miniconda) and skip if you have. Will check and install Microsoft C++ build tools, will skip if you have it all ready. Will download everything needed include clone the repo and start python app.py. Tested in windows sandbox.

Feel free to edit as needed. Should be able to use it as a start script also since it should skip existing requirements when already installed.

Create a text file seestar.bat and double click!
