#3201: GTK3 Windows build

With the move to a GTK3 UI we need a way to easily create the Windows
package.

I am not sure what the best route is going to be but we need something
that can always get the latest versions of GTK3 as we had to use outdated
PyGTK versions as no other builds existed.

It would be good to drop the usage of MSVC and go with msys2 but there are
hurdles to doing that with regards to Twisted and pywin32 (see #3181).
These are the steps for another GTK3 project building with msys2:

project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_for_Windows_with_MSYS2

Alternatively we continue with MSVC and roll our own GTK3 builds:

https://github.com/wingtk/gvsbuild

We will also need to move from bbfreeze to most likely pyinstaller but
that is further down the road

Help or suggestion with this would be appreciated

Help or suggestions with this would be appreciated as primary development
is on Ubuntu.

Comment (by Cas):

So I have had some success testing out building with gvsbuild scripts and
I have created a fork of gvsbuild so the job artifacts can be downloaded
from appveyor:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cas--/gvsbuild

Currently there are a few windows specific issues with the deluge code:
- Remove `py2-ipaddress` lines from `setup.py` and `requirements.txt`.
- Comment out the entire last `try..except` in
`deluge.common.set_env_variable`.

Extract the gvsbuild tarball and add to path. From console in deluge
source dir:

{{{
set PATH=C:\gvsbuild\release;%PATH%
pip install C:\gvsbuild\release\python\pycairo-1.17.1-cp36-cp36m-
win_amd64.whl
pip install C:\gvsbuild\release\python\PyGObject-3.28.3-py3.6-win-
amd64.whl
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
}}}
