Hearing nothing, pushed.

I realised while back-patching that REL_16_STABLE was the last release
that also had the old Windows-only build/test machinery under
src/tools/msvc.  It never ran all the tests anyway, and I don't think
we'd learn anything new by adding it, given that CI uses meson on that
branch, so I didn't worry about remembering how to adjust that for
now.  If someone feels strongly about it, of course we can.
