The windows binaries where packaged with custom shell script before,
now they are packaged by VisualStudio when we build them.

The main reason for the change was to make maintaining the build
system going forwards mush simpler.

VisualStudio does not have a target to build a ZIP file, we could also
build a cab file if this would help.

The inclusion of them helps lower the barrier to entry for people to
try ClamAV on windows.

There is no reason for us to package these separately, by including
them we again reduce the barrier to entry for people.
