Improve/finish Windows support

[gavanderhoorn]

While the driver can be used on Windows, there are a few rough edges which we need to address before we can state Windows is fully supported.

This issue will track all outstanding tasks and identified problems with the packages on Windows.

Todo:

• ci: add Windows builds #3: add Windows CI
• readme: add Windows build steps #4: add build documentation for Windows (related: Windows build failing #17)
• Windows build failing #17: abb_egm_hardware_interface build failing due to robot_hw.h collisions with windows.h (work-around in Windows build failing #17 (comment))
• Can't reproduce Example 2 bringup_examples on Windows #20: multi-line rosservice invocations not working in cmd.exe (work-around/alternative: Can't reproduce Example 2 bringup_examples on Windows #20 (comment))

@lilustga is going to look at this.

@ooeygui: that's nice to hear.

Is he working in a fork/branch somewhere?

[ooeygui]

@gavanderhoorn We have this in our backlog, but have not started the work. Normally we stage work on github.com/ms-iot before moving back to the origin. Is that acceptable?

[gavanderhoorn]

That's ok. I was just wondering whether he'd already forked to somewhere and wanted to take a look.

@ooeygui: any updates?

[ooeygui]

@gavanderhoorn I'm sorry, I do not have any status. Our priority queue grows significantly faster than we can whittle it down. If you can share data about the customer impact on this, it might help make the case to increase the priority in our backlog.

[gavanderhoorn]

@ooeygui @lilustga were you able to improve anything in the end?

[ooeygui]

@gavanderhoorn Thanks for the ping. We are not currently working on this due to resource constraints.

[gavanderhoorn]

Ok. Thanks for the update.
