As has been brewing for some time and just got accepted in today's ESC
meeting, we'll bump master (towards LO 5.4) to MSVC 2015 Update 3 as
basline for MSVC builds on Windows. That will happen as soon as
<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/22588/> "Drop support for MSVC 2013"
builds green and is pushed. Thanks to David for working on that!
* Older branches (libreoffice-5-2, libreoffice-5-3) remain on their MSVC
2013 baselines.
* The wiki developer documentation will likely need updating. Any
volunteers? (For open source work, a free-of-charge version of MSVC
2015 Update 3 should be available from Microsoft on the web.)
* Noteworthy improvements this brings to us regarding C++11-and-beyond
support is that HAVE_CXX11_CONSTEXPR and HAVE_UTF16_STRING_LITERAL
should now always be true.
