[C++][Doc] Improve Developing on Windows docs #27233

@asfimport

Description

@asfimport

Update and improve the "Developing on Windows" docs page:

  • Add instructions for using Visual Studio 2019
  • Add instructions for option to use vcpkg instead of conda for build dependencies
    • Mention that when you use ARROW_DEPENDENCY_SOURCE=VCPKG, vcpkg will (depending on its configuration) actually download, build, and install the C++ library dependencies for you if it can't find them; this differs from other dependency sources which require a prior installation
  • Describe required Visual Studio configuration
  • Improve some ambiguous instructions
