Document CDB dependency in Windows build for external contributors.
The Windows 10 SDK installed by Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition does not include Debugging Tools for Windows. The build process requires CDB. According to the MSDN page on Debugging Tools, they are also bundled with the Windows Driver Kit, which is freely available. So, we can point our external contributors to the WDK to get CDB.
